“Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park is moving forward in their plan to develop their 24-acre site of
modern-day Historic Mitchelville through interpretive mediums, architectural structures, pedestrian

that develop,” says Ahmad Ward, Executive Director of Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park.
The Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization whose mission is to
replicate, preserve, and sustain an historically significant site and to educate the public about the
sacrifice, resilience and perseverance of the freedmen of Mitchelville and to share the story of how
these brave men and women planted strong and enduring familial roots for generations of future
African-Americans. In 2021 Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park was selected to join the National Park
Service – Reconstruction Era National Historic Network.
