Rutherford B H Yates Museum, Inc. 1314 Andrews Street, Houston, TX 77019

"Yates Museum is a fantastic place to take your family and learn about the mother Ward of Houston’s first African American settlers."

"Awesome experience. We all, no matter what part of America we hail, stand on the shoulders of giants. Freemans Town, Historic 4th ward, Houston, TX. SD3"

"This is a significant and moving part of Houston's history. A tour of Yates home was enlightening because of the wonderful docents. A walk around the block revealed brick streets that I didn't know existed, built by the residents, many of whom were bricklayer. Treat yourself."

"Our history! All should stop by this gem and historical place! Home turned museum of this giant of a contributor to the successful establishment of African Americans to Houston's Freedman's Town! Truly up there with all the museum's in Houston! The tour guides are a wealth of information!"

"The Yates museum is a window into a forgotten part of Houston's history. Inside, you'll learn about resilience of a burgeoning black community post slavery. This museum pays homage to and seeks to protect what gentrification and excessive development is destroying. However, through the work of the community and volunteers the history of Freedman's Town will hopefully live on to educate future generations."
