A very interesting place to learn about the work of the slaves in the city. We had a personal tour with Robert our guide, who showed and told us a lot.

My daughters and I called for a 11 a.m. Urban Enslavement tour on Sunday, but no one answered the phone. We left a message on the answering machine but decided to go anyway after no return call to take pictures at least in front of the house. When we arrived, the souvenir shop was open. The girl inside said that they were not giving tours because there was an issue with the house earlier, but after lunch, tours would reconvene at 1 p.m. Unfortunately, we had to be at the airport by 1:30, so we could not wait. We found a pretty necklace, some earrings, perfume oil, and a bracelet made by local artists, and she was nice enough to let us see the adjoining horse stable. Prices on the items varied. The necklace, which was decribed as "large, antique cellulod button early 1800s genuine natual stone chips" sold for $109. The bracelet was not decribed as copper or brass but was very detailed and of the Mississippi River. The price was $195. The spray oil was $40. I'm sure the artists set their own prices, and it's a great way for them to get to display their art. The artists being displayed were either African American women or people who are non-binary. After the shop, we were allowed to look through the gate, but it was locked. We could see inside the entryway and took some photos. We didn't think to get pictures of the souvenir shop... Oh, and while waiting to be checked out at the souvenir shop, the wooden doors to the left kept vibrating, and it sounded like someone was tapping on them. The girl acted like she didn't hear it and didn't look that way. All three of us could hear it. The doors were behind me, but my daughters could see them visibly move. When we went into the stable, which was the adjoining room, the air was so think and stale from no circulation that there was NO WAY that the doors could have been shaken by a breeze. Take it for what you want! :)

Very educational. Honestly everyone should go and learn about the historical treatment of fellow human beings. It was a real eye opener.
