Alex Haley Museum and Interpretive Center

"Nicely set up museum. Worth a visit if you are in the area and looking for some good insight on Alex Haley."

"A wonderful experience due mostly in part to the Site Manager Mr. Richard Griffin. He was personable, knowledgeable and humorous! My mother and I visited on a Monday afternoon. We drove from Medina, TN and it was well worth the trip! I highly recommend you pay a visit!"

"Unfortunately did not have time to visit. Museum, but definitely worth a visit to a place of super importance yo history."

"Learned a lot about Haley’s early formative years and what led to the writing of the book Roots. Great tour! The house has many family photos and is period correct with items that the Parker family would have used. The house sits in the neighborhood where towns people drive and there are different informational markers around the house. His parents first courted here and eventually married. It is also the burial site for Alex. The entrance and interpretive center is behind the house."

"Now that's a trip worth visiting. Alex Haley Museum was always on our bucket list and we finally made a trip to experience and explore this amazing place. There is nothing that comes close to how well it is managed, the professionalism and friendliness of the staff and the quality of knowledge gained. The house is very well preserved with all original items. I must admit it is well worth the visit when you are in this area. People from all over the united states and other parts of the world have visited this museum. Side note: you must watch roots and roots the next generation to understand further and how Alex traced his roots all the way to Gambia, Africa and how the Old African Kunta Kinte who was captured and sold as a slave into the USA. Kunta Kinte was one of Haley's ancestors, a Gambian Muslim man who was born in 1750, enslaved, and taken to America where he died in 1822. There is no picture which can truly describe the real experience. Must Visit, Highly Recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
