After years of planning, the National Juneteenth Museum is expected to break ground in Fort Worth in the coming months, marking a major milestone for a project that will preserve and share the story of Juneteenth on a national scale.

Beyond its cultural significance, the museum is expected to serve as a catalyst for education, tourism, and economic activity in Fort Worth’s Historic Southside. We look forward to seeing this long-anticipated project continue to move forward and welcome future visitors from across the country to experience this important part of American history.
