Located near downtown Jacksonville, Florida, the college currently sits on 23 acres and houses Centennial Hall (a nationally registered historic structure), the school’s oldest building which was constructed in 1916. A historically black college, Edward Waters College is currently a private, Christian, liberal arts college, is the oldest black college in Florida. It is a member of the United Negro College Fund. Edward Waters College initially opened its doors as Brown Theological Institute. The school was forced to close for most of the 1870s due to financial difficulties, but re-opened in 1883 with an extended educational program. It also adopted its current name which honors the third bishop of the AME church. The college was destroyed in Great (Jacksonville) Fire of 1901, the largest urban fire in southeast United States. Three years later in 1904 the AME church began rebuilding the college. For the majority of the College’s years of operation, the AME Church also raised money to clear the school’s debt and construct most of the buildings on the College’s campus.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/1674/1abf5ec1-aa59-4f52-baf1-5c5ea9e4f9ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens which includes art as well as a family](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6068635/e33ea33d-e576-47ce-b8bd-d4f7a760a0f5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens which includes art](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6068635/3c8fc018-ad12-4a42-bcb9-90577cbd4da9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens featuring art and interior views as well as a couple](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6068635/7d570742-a8e0-4077-bce8-0f2bd741ee89.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Northwest Things to do Hotels Where to stay [Jacksonville travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Jacksonville.dx602997) --- ### Popular places to visit ![Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens which includes art](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6068635/3c8fc018-ad12-4a42-bcb9-90577cbd4da9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens Browse through art that dates back thousands of years and explore scenic gardens housing one of the oldest trees in the region at this museum in Jacksonville.
