The Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum in Sedalia, NC, preserves the legacy of the Palmer Memorial Institute and the incredible vision of Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown. Dr. Brown believed that the students should come away with an experience that left them “educationally efficient, religiously sincere, and culturally secure.” As of 1922, the Palmer Institute was one of the few schools for African Americans that was fully accredited. The Museum has preserved many of the buildings from the Institute and is continuing to think of creative ways to use all of the buildings on site. It is designated as an NC Historic Site and features a knowledgeable staff that can provide great information on the history and the importance of the school.
