Monument commemorating the contributions of St. Mary's County's African Americans. Located in Freedom Park in downtown Lexington Park, Maryland


Monument

The African American monument is located in Lexington Park, MD on the grounds of Freedom Park. It was dedicated on July 29, 2000 and recognizes African Americans and African-American organizations that have made significant contributions to St. Mary's County.

Freedom Park is near the main gate to Patuxent Naval Air Station at the intersection of Route 235 and Tulagi Place. Limited parking is available. Additional parking is available directly across Route 235.

Individuals and organizations wishing to provide financial support for the monument's maintenance and future improvements may contact Mr. Elmer Brown at 301-994-0423 to purchase bricks inscribed with their name. These bricks will be placed on the walkway surrounding and leading to the monument and will serve as a permanent acknowledgement of the donor's support and commitment to the importance of African-American contributions to St. Mary's County.

The monument is surrounded by six pedestals with bronze plaques.
