About Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History and Conference Center

Housed in the former home of Miss Lucy Craft Laney, this Augusta museum opened in 1991 and centers on Black history and art. Its exhibitions are a major draw, and its programs include the Golden Blocks walking tour of the historic Laney Walker District, a Black Caddies experience about the men who carried golf bags at The Masters, and a community stories collection of interviews with notable Black Augustans. Visitors reach the museum by appointment for guided tours, and the organization also runs speaker talks, symposiums, and an annual golf fundraiser.
