Finding Archie's Barbershop
The Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation is located at:
​
​4502 Hamilton Street
Hyattsville, MD 20781
There is limited parking behind the building and some street parking in the neighborhood. There are three public parking lots located within a block of the Barbershop.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
With few exceptions the Saturday jams take place from 1 to 5pm. Jams may be canceled due to bad weather or emergency. Should a major holiday fall on a Saturday there will likely be no jam. On very rare occasions, the jam may be held at a community event instead of the Barbershop.
Before setting out, please check the AEBHF Facebook page to check for any announcements that might affect the jam.
