Untold Fort Worth: A Black History Trail
Four small, community-run museums that tell a side of Fort Worth's story you won't get from the big institutions.
This route strings together a cluster of grassroots museums and archives dedicated to Black Fort Worth history — genealogy records, personal artifacts, and community memory preserved in intimate spaces. It's a slower, conversation-driven kind of afternoon; expect to chat with docents who know the collections personally.
The stops
-
1
JUNETEENTH MUSEUM
Call ahead if possible — hours can be limited and a docent-led visit is worth the wait.

2
Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Museum
Genealogy archives on site; bring a notebook if you want to dig into local records.
-
3
Lenora Rolla
Small space, big stories — ask about the founder's personal connection to the collection.
-
4
Leonard's Museum
A quieter, lesser-known stop to close the loop; short visit, worth the detour.
