Summary
The museum concept began in 2008, as the brainchild of City Administrator Greg Dietterick. Upon learning about the African American higher education institute, Seneca Junior College, that was located in Seneca from 1899 to 1939, Mr. Dietterick realized that there was a “story to tell” about the local African American community. Eight years in the making, the Bertha Lee Strickland Cultural Museum officially opened with the exhibit entitled, THE WAYMAKERS, on February 12, 2016.
