The Network

What is FAAHPN, aka “The Network”?
The Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network (FAAHPN) is a professional association organized in 2001 by the John Gilmore Riley Center Museum (Tallahassee).

FAAHPN serves as an informational and technical assistance resource in response to a growing interest in preserving Florida’s African American culture, that of the African Diaspora and that of other related ethnically diverse historic resources globally.
The Blanchard House Museum is a member of the Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network.
