The Accord Civil Rights Museum, at 79 Bridge Street, will open to the public on select Fridays and Saturdays through February of 2023. 

This building was originally the office of a dental surgeon Dr. Rudulph N. Gordon.  After his death the building was purchased by Dr. Robert B. Hayling, a dentist and a leader of the civil rights movement in St. Augustine. Dr. Hayling held meetings in his office with other civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 2014, the building was opened as a civil rights museum, 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While an important location for the civil rights movement, this building is not always open to the public and these selected days will allow visitors to tour the exhibits on their own or take a guided tour of the exhibitions.

Admission: Free. Donations accepted.
