Black Heritage Trail of NH

For nearly 30 years, the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire has worked to uncover and share the stories of Black history in our state. What started in Portsmouth as a local effort to highlight African American contributions has grown into a statewide mission. Today, we connect people through history, education, and storytelling. From launching tours and events to preserving historic sites, each milestone shows our dedication to honoring the past. By sharing these stories, we hope to bring people together, inspire understanding, and build more inclusive communities across New Hampshire.

The Black Heritage Trail of NH seeks to bring New Hampshire’s African American history to light, fostering understanding and appreciation that inspire stronger, more inclusive communities today.
