The Eddie Mae Herron Center & Museum is a historic community building at 1708 Archer Street in Pocahontas, Arkansas. Originally built as an African Methodist Episcopal Church, it is a small one-room wood frame structure, with a gable roof and novelty siding. A flat-roof addition expands the building to the right. The main facade has two entrances, each sheltered by a small gable-roofed hood. The building was built in 1918, to provide facilities for a church and school to the small African-American community in Pocahontas. It served as a church for thirty years, and as a school for fifty, and was later adapted for other uses, most recently as a museum and community center.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 as the St. Mary's AME Church—Pocahontas Colored School.[1]
