The Spady Cultural Heritage Museum is operated by EPOCH (Expanding & Preserving Our Cultural Heritage, Inc.), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to communicating the rich history and cultural diversity of Delray Beach and South Palm Beach County.

The museum is the brainchild of Vera Rolle Farrington, a retired Palm Beach County educator, historian and native South-Floridian. Under Farrington's leadership, the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum opened in July 2001 and has become a resource for people seeking information about the city's early black history and culture.

The Spady Cultural Heritage Museum is the former home of the late Solomon D. Spady who was the most prominent African American educator and community leader in Delray Beach from 1922 to 1957. The house is an historic two-storied Mission-Revival styled home completed in 1926 and is located on the Spady Cultural Heritage Complex in Delray Beach, Florida.
