Rutherford B H Yates Museum Inc. (“RBHY”) is a non-profit organization with a 25-year history in preservation and operating Freedmen’s Town Museums - Houston Texas (“FTM ''). Our mission is to promote preservation, education, archaeology, and research of Houston's African American history. RBHY focuses on the post-enslavement era in Houston’s Freedmen’s Town, the Gulf Coast region of Texas, and its connections to other regions of the world. RBHY owns historical homes and buildings in the Houston 4thWard and is in the process of restoration so all the structures can be open to the public. RBHY seeks its first full time Executive Director to work with the Board to propel the organization in providing community based museum and educational experiences in Houston.
