This is the only museum dedicated primarily to preserving the legacy and honor of the African-American soldier, in the United States of America. Captain Paul has dedicated himself to find original items to show everyone that visits the museum how the buffalo soldiers survived in their time.

The museum creates and disseminates knowledge about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and their service in the defense and development of America.
For over 40 years, Captain Matthews has brought in artifacts from firearms to photos. They fill every corner of the building in the Museum District. It is one of the best-known museums in Houston.
