"In 1866, six all-Black cavalry and infantry regiments were created after Congress passed the Army Organization Act. They came to be known as Buffalo Soldiers.

The Museum also features archival photographs, tools used to manufacture dynamite, and displays of "Life in a Company Town, 1906 to Today."
