Savage hopes to bring new museum to Washington County

Micki Savage, a local historian in Washington County, has worked for more than 10 years to educate the community about African American history. Active in many organizations, she founded the Prestwick Preservation Society and is now working toward building a museum to celebrate local black history.

Savage aspires to build an African American Museum in Washington County to bring history alive with tangible items and documents. While many know about national historical figures, Savage said more should be known about local history.
