The Samuel D. Outlaw Blacksmith Shop Memorial Museum in Onancock, VA, honors the life and legacy of Samuel D. Outlaw, a master craftsman, civic leader, and entrepreneur who significantly impacted the Eastern Shore community. Opened in 1927, the blacksmith shop became one of the first African American-owned businesses in the region, offering essential services and advocating for Black economic empowerment.

As a testament to African American history and craftsmanship, the museum preserves not only the building but also the legacy of self-reliance and social impact that continues to inspire future generations. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and as part of the African American Civil Rights Network, it serves as a living monument to community pride and resilience.
