ABOUT
Welcome to the Historic Hampton House Museum of Culture & Art. Located in Miami-Dade County's Brownsville neighborhood (just 10 minutes from Miami Beach), the onetime hotel is one of the few remaining Green Book sites of the Jim Crow era. The Historic Hampton House served as a nucleus gathering spot during the civil rights era of 1950’s, 60s, and 70s for influential figures such as Sam Cooke, Sammy Davis, Jr, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Wilson, Althea Gibson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Jackie Robinson and Jim Brown. The museum showcases a valuable piece of Miami’s segregated history and is the only standing hotel of this era. Explore America’s unique history at the Historic Hampton House Museum of Culture & Art.
