Underground Railroad Museum

It featured a lot of comments from interviews with formerly enslaved people, paired with pics. I felt like I could imagine this era a little better by the time I left. It was important to read between the lines sometimes. One elderly lady told her interviewer that the enslaved people on the farm where she had lived had been treated so well that she'd been happy all the time. Sarcasm! She must have felt it was obvious to everyone that enslavement was a horrible experience and it just hurts to be aware of how common it was for white people to claim their families had treated "their" enslaved people well. The house was beautiful and full of period furnishings and china.

When I went back in January is the best! I loved it and just amazed by how each room is so creative! Once we are better and no longer in Quarantine, check them out

An amazing museum with an extremely friendly and helpful staff. I definitely recommend stopping here for a history lesson.

A smaller exhibit but very informative giving you a lot of information to take in. Really like the pictures and testimonies of historic enslaved individuals. Disappointed that our tour was majority taken by ourselves through the museum after guide took us to about 3 destinations and told us to look around. He didn't really give us any real detailed information or additional information for that matter. The building looked old in need of some repairs but did have things like original ceilings, pictures, newspapers, furniture and quilts/blankets used for secret messages for those apart of the underground railroad. Was expected more detailed information about the specifics of the museum and the direct part it played in the underground railroad. Toward to end we did gain some beneficial knowledge of the mansion who owned it and occupied it. Overall it wasn't a bad visit at all.
