The Black American West Museum and Heritage Center, located in Denver, Colorado, is a museum dedicated to telling the story of African American men and women who helped to settle and develop the American West,[1] including Black cowboys. It was founded by Paul Stewart and is located in the former home of Justina Ford, the first licensed African American female doctor in Denver, Colorado.[2]
In 2021, the museum and heritage center received a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.[3]
