This museum was so nice, and our Ambassador was so passionate! We learned alot and are thankful to be able to keep history in front of our children and ourselves.

Unique museum in Donaldsonville honoring African-American history in Louisiana including slavery. The current exhibition on the slaves sold by Georgetown University into slavery in Louisiana is very interesting and thought-provoking. The museum staff is very knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic. Definitely worth the 1 hour trip from New Orleans.

The museum represents the entire African and African American River Road culture and history or just Donalsonville's. I will be visiting, thirsty for knowledge; my ancestors worked the Laura Plantation, which I will visit as well.

This is a Great Place to start your River Road Trail. It's more than a museum, it's a taste of UNSPOKEN HISTORY.
