Youngsholm
Address: 1120 U.S. Route 42 E, Wilberforce, OH 45384
This Wilberforce, Ohio home belonged to Charles Young, who escaped slavery in Kentucky, became the third African American graduate of West Point, and rose to be the first Black colonel in the U.S. Army, serving with the Buffalo Soldiers and later as a military attache. The 1907 house is a National Historic Landmark.
Tour the house museum's exhibits on Young and the Buffalo Soldiers by appointment. For a challenge, pair the full house tour with a visit to the nearby National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center.
