The Sandy Spring Slave Museum and African Art Gallery Inc. is a non-profit organization located in Sandy Spring, Maryland that is dedicated to preserving the history and culture of African Americans. The museum was founded in 1988 and is housed in a renovated building that was once a Quaker school.
