Reviews
"The African Burial Ground National Monument is unsurprisingly seeping with history. My experience visiting was immeasurably bolstered by the tours I went on with Ranger Emily and Ranger Beth, who made the powerful history very accessible and digestible. The monument is an understated piece of history in the heart of Lower Manhattan and is worth a trip by any local or tourist - and I strongly encourage all to make the visit. The Art Tour is especially worthwhile if you're able to make it. I'll most certainly be back for future events and programs."
"What an incredible place right in Manhattan. Such rich history. So glad I went and you should too."
"Beautiful monument dedicated to the culture of the Africans who came to the New World. There's a nice exhbit on the building next to the monument itself facing Broadway. The rangers are very nice too. They let us in even though they were closing in 5 minutes. Free entrance"
"Absolutely worth a visit if you were ever around the area. Cost nothing to enter and the staff there was super friendly. It’s a part of history that’s not taught in schools and often overlooked. There’s also a short documentary playing inside a small room at the front entrance."
"Easy to overlook this place with a powerful and fascinating story while you are in the city but take the time to stop by and learn a piece of our history. The NPS attendants were helpful and the presentation was very well done, especially as much of the story is in the history of the site being rediscovered in the 1990s and the public response. Doesn't take long at all to go through the museum and monument but well worth the time even with all the cool stuff in NYC."
