The Sixth Street Museum District and its parent company, the Hattiesburg Convention Commission’s mission is to enhance the lives of our neighbors and grow the economy of Hattiesburg by highlighting the rich history of our area’s African-American community through preservation and the interpretation of their contributions in a way that connects with residents and visitors alike.

The Sixth Street Museum District is a collection of museums and historical buildings located in the Mobile/Bouie Neighborhood which was once Hattiesburg’s historic African American cultural hub of entrepreneurship, professional life, commerce, social activity and the place of civil-rights activism. The District consists of the African American Military History Museum, Eureka School, Smith Drug Company, Oseola McCarty House, Generations Strong: Inspiring African Americans of Hattiesburg Commemorative Wall (at the Eureka School) and Moeller Military Vehicle Museum project.
