Sitting a few feet away from the center of campus, the The Carrie Meek-James N. Eaton, Sr. Southeastern Regional Black Archives Research Center and Museum, is filled with beautiful history, archives, memories and antiques dating back to as early as 1887 in reference to the university. Directed by Elizabeth Dawson, the Center is a place where students can visit on a daily basis, volunteer, learn more about “The Hill,” or just walk in to get a cool breeze.

*Misc.: Open Monday through Fridays from 9:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. There is no admission fee. Museum tours are self-guided. Groups of 10 or more people can call to schedule a guided tour. Groups requesting guided tours usually receive a brief welcome, introduction, or presentation on a special area of interest before viewing the exhibits. For additional tour information please call 850-599-3020.
