National Underground Railroad Freedom Center

All so can say is WOW! The exhibit was so well done and so very moving. To see so much detail of from the beginning of slavery in the US to the civil rights movement and beyond and the hope intertwined with desperation and grief was just so powerful! You could hear a pin drop in all areas of the museum. The films were powerful and educational and there is just so much to see! I did a report on Harriet Tubman when I was eight (50 years ago) and this was just so breath taking and truly amazing! This reminds us all how we need to treat every person as just that... a Person!!! No one is better than another! Just Go and see it! BRAVO! to the creators! This will forever be in my memory! Thank You!The green book portion is a new addition, don't know how long this part will be here, but it was fantastic. It also showed how robust and strong hope truly can be! Tips: you get a pass for the entire day and you may want to take a break and go in and out! There is so much information that it is hard to digest and truly read it all! and This is NOT the history you were taught in school so embrace the reality of the information!Make sure to go to the balcony to see the eternal flame which will remain lite until everyone person is free

We attended the Candlelight by Fever event: Best of Hip-Hop. The venue was a symbolic touch as the work of African-American musicians was highlighted. The auditorium was the perfect size and comfortable. I had a great view of the performers and thought it was well put together.

Lots of exhibits to learn from. So much to discuss if you want to walk slowly through these with a friend. There is a lot of info and it would be nice if you had at least 3 hours to take your time with. It's good to know this history of brave people on both sides... those who fled their owners and those who helped those who fled their owners. Thank goodness for human resilience and kindness of humanity who helped people escape slave owners.

Loved it here awesome place to visit. Me and my wife went for the first time. I wasn't sure what to expect but for someone who already knows all the history and has seen it a lot, it wasn't to bad to look at.

My visit to this place was nothing short of an amazing experience! This is one of the best museums I've ever been to in my life. As long as I was there, I still needed more time to see and explore everything fully. I think it would take at least 2 days to see it all. There was so much beautiful art there! Wonderful sculptures and exhibits were on every floor. There were interactive exhibits and also a lovely gift shop where I purchased a beautiful handmade doll, some fabric and keepsakes. I learned things, and enjoyed every minute of my visit! I truly recommend this place for lovers of history, black history, art, and for those who want to learn more about African American history.

I visited this place while in the area. It was recommended by a friend. It tells the story of the slave trade and the history of chamge. It was in walking distance from where I was staying. When you come un you can start of on the thirdbfloor or do to the 3rd level and work your way down. The ticket counter is also located where you enter and they give you instructions and a map. It was a great informative visit. There were things to read, short movies and interactive activities that shared the history. You could feel the energy and emotion from some of the activities. I would get there early because there is a lot to see. It was a great learning experience and was happy I went.

Tip: go early and spend the day here!It's so much to see, read, and learn about. Just "stopping by" won't work. I learned lots of new things.

It's a must experience. Take your time and learn. The staff help you understand everything in this history crossing over the water to Ohio.

What a great museum. I'm glad I came across it while searching things to do, it was one of the highlights of my trip. There is so much history here not only about slavery, but history throughout America including all the different policies, laws, and discussions surrounded it. There is also a section on modern day slavery and what that looks like that was very educational. You definitely need time if you want to explore all the exhibits. I'd say minimum 2 hours.

Absolutely incredible museum. Really eye opening to the horrors of slavery and bravery and resolve African Americans have shown through centuries of mistreatment. Also got in free because of it being the 5th or 3rd Sunday of the month!
