"An exploration in African American history and excellence. Newsome house museum was an unexpected treasure. Staff were welcoming and enthusiastic to share the story and history of the Newsome family and their impact on the local community and greater society."
"So inviting and informative when I’ve visited with friends the museum and we’ve got a private tour of the house. I only recommend this place for getting a good picture about this beautiful historical place!"

"Must see! Well preserved historical home in Newport News. Interesting history and special exhibits housed in this home owned by a black lawyer in the late 1800's/early 1900's."
