Celebrate Black History Month at City Museums

Plan a visit to Belair Mansion and Stable Museums during February’s Black History Month.

“Put to Work in Making Tobacco” at Belair Mansion explores the contributions and lives of countless slaves who labored throughout the Chesapeake region, and at Belair Plantation, in the 18th and 19th centuries.

“First Heroes of the Turf” at the Belair Stable highlights the importance of African Americans as jockeys in Thoroughbred horse racing.

Belair Mansion (12207 Tulip Grove Drive) and Stable (2835 Belair Drive) Museums are open Tuesday through Sunday from Noon – 4:00 p.m. Admission is free. For further information, please call 301-809-3089, or email: museumevents@cityofbowie.org
