The AACHF houses the historical Dedrick Hamilton House. The home was built circa 1880 in one of the earliest African American communities in East Austin. The restored historic house is now an African American Visitors Center and Art Studio. The Dedrick-Hamilton House is the centerpiece of the African American Cultural and Heritage Facility.  

Through our events and programs at the AACHF, we foster conversation, engagement, and an opportunity to explore the rich historical legacy of the community, as well as contemporary connections of the Black Diaspora in Austin. The facility is also home to the Greater Austin Black Chamber and our In- Residence partners.
