Help Restore the Excelsior!
The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center in the past five years has worked diligently to restore the interior spaces, develop heritage exhibits and is working on a National Park Service grant to preserve the historic structure from further decay. The LMCC transitioned from a volunteer organization in 2018 with the help of a capacity building grant from the Institute of Museums and Library Services (IMLS) which ended recently. The LMCC continues to build a stronger voice for Lincolnville and St. Augustine’s Black history. Now, the experiences of African Americans in St. Augustine, from the time of Spanish Florida to the Civil Rights Movement, are being included in more of the local and national narratives.
