The Crispus Attucks History and Culture Center will celebrate, preserve, and teach the living history and traditions of African-Americans in greater York and beyond, bringing diverse communities together through the combined narratives of artistic, cultural, and historical treasures in order to enhance understanding among people. We are excited to begin the building phase of this important project and plan to open the center to the public by March of 2025.

The Center will explore, document, and showcase the African American story and impact on York City as well as African Americans’ important place in and contributions to our country’s history. Through the vision, voice, creativity and perspective of African Americans in York County, we will educate the public on York’s history of slavery, segregation, civil unrest, social injustice, and activism in order to aim toward change and cultivate a better future. It will also be used as a meeting space for the community to gather, build relationships, strengthen bonds, and learn about themselves and each other. Additionally, the center will depict the rich and varied cultural experiences of other residents of York County, such as the Latino population, and their contributions to the York community.
