The African American Museum of Bucks County (AAMBC) opened Friday with a private gathering that included local, county, and state officials.
The long-awaited, much-anticipated grand opening , officials said, of the museum at Boone Farm opened on Juneteenth, the June 19 federal holiday. The gathering was invitation only, before the public can visit historical site today (Saturday June 20.)

Seven rooms and four niche exhibit spaces will take visitors on a journey through Bucks County’s rich African American history. As you explore the exhibits on this self-guided tour, you will discover the stories, achievements and contributions that have helped to shape our community. Take your time, engage with the displays, and enjoy the experience at your own pace, officials said, in announcing the museum opening.

Established in 2014, AAMBC has existed solely as a “mobile museum,” displaying exhibits and artifacts at schools, libraries, senior centers and other locations throughout the county.
The stone farmhouse dates back to 1716, making it one of the oldest surviving homes in Bucks County, according to Patricia Mervine. Mervine documented the history of the home, in her book, “Boone Farm: Its People and Place in Middletown History.”
