New: Discover Palm Beach’s Black Cultural Heritage Trail

Here's something you can do any time of year, but while the weather is pleasant, why not put on your walking shoes, grab your phone and maybe a friend and head out on a self-guided tour to discover the roots of Black culture hiding in plain site. This local sightseeing tour is something you can complete at your leisure, whenever you choose, at your own pace. 

There are many walkable sites and areas best seen by vehicle, from Boca Raton to Jupiter. You can also view this handy “Walk With Me” guide.

African Americans have played a pivotal and indelible role in shaping Florida’s history, particularly in Palm Beach County. From the post-slavery era to the Civil Rights Movement and beyond, their contributions have been instrumental in the region’s social, cultural, and economic development.

Now, there is a way to learn about the sites you can visit in person within four geographic regions of greater Palm Beach. To help you plot a self-guided tour of the Trail, there is a Google map, along with links and historical photos to help in your journey of discovery.
