The Portsmouth Colored Community Library Museum, a nationally recognized historical site, welcomes anyone interested in learning how a small community library enriched Portsmouth from 1945 until 1963. The historic Library is now Portsmouth’s fifth city-operated museum. Celebrating Portsmouth African American history, the Museum’s exhibitions include photographs and memorabilia, as well as African American books and journals from the former Library. Recognizing the significance of Portsmouth African American trailblazers and organizations, the Museum also salutes the historic Portsmouth African American community. Children who visit the Museum will enjoy fun hands-on activities, storytelling and interactive programs designed to promote pride, cultural diversity, activism, and understanding of local African American Portsmouth history.
