The LMCC will be open from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We encourage you to visit the museum to learn about the rich Civil Rights history in Lincolnville and how Martin Luther King Jr. had a role in the movement here locally.

Every year The King Center has a theme that represents the work, impact, and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and 2024’s theme is It Starts With Me: Shifting the Cultural Climate through the Study and Practice of Kingian Nonviolence. Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent protest practice spread around our country and the evidence of his impact can be seen in Lincolnville’s history. Martin Luther King Jr. peacefully protested and held demonstrations in St. Johns County with Dr. Robert B. Hayling, a local dentist and advisor to the Youth Council of the city’s branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
