The Robert Russa Moton Museum, located in Farmville, Virginia, is a National Historical Landmark that highlights the significant role the former Robert Russa Moton High School played in the Civil Rights Movement. As the birthplace of America's student-led civil rights revolution, the museum preserves the legacy of the 1951 Moton Student Strike, which transformed the landscape of American education.

The museum not only offers educational tours and programs but also serves as a venue for private, public, and non-profit events, with facilities accommodating various group sizes. Through its efforts, the Moton Museum engages thousands of individuals in the ongoing narrative of civil rights and community impact.
