Reviews
"The Museum is filled with displays and literature that depict the journey of the brave Freedom Riders. These individuals sacrificed their safety and lives to help mistreated Black Americans exercise their right to travel freely and sit where they wanted on buses, trains and airplanes. The site director conducts tours and informational sessions."
"Great experience to stand where history was made. We were there for the unveiling of several new exhibits. We actually sang with James Lawson Jr. one of the original Freedom Riders! Wonderful experience, great people act worth the price of admission. I was a guest of the Lewis family which made the experience that much more historic. It's a must visit if your into history... Our history."
"Small museum in a repurposed bus station. There are some plaques outside that tell enough of the story...inside you just get a few more details. Staff is friendly. I wish, however, they would allow photography inside. Not sure why this would be banned."
"It's closed on Sunday so we were only able to walk around the outside of the museum. Despite being closed, there was a ton of information posted outside the building. It's well worth the stop to learn the details of such historic events and such brave and selfless people. We also stopped by the Baptist Church where the Freedom Riders hid after the initial attack. It's only a few minutes away."
"This was a wonderful experience that was packed with so much history. One of my favorite parts was to actually see and read a green book. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable! Exhibit was intriguing and facility was inviting and clean."
