The Ozarks Afro-American Museum is a place where people of all races and nationalities  can together honor the contributions of our ancestors - a shared heritage.

Fr. Moses Berry, a priest of the Orthodox Church in America, opened the OAAHM in October of 2002. It quickly became an important part of Ash Grove life, attracting many visitors.

 

Nearby is an historic cemetery owned by the Berry family since 1875, dedicated forth e burial of "Slaves, Paupers and Indians," who for many years were e xcluded from other burial places. The "Old Negro" or Berry Cemetery,  is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites.

 

The OAAHM is a non-profit organization, and depends on donations for its operation. Please help us preserve a vital part of Ozarks life!
All contributions are tax-deductible.
