"Pretty cool historical place. Not the best for small children. The trails are long and hilly so they are perfect for good cardio. There are not any restrooms here so remember to use the bathroom before going."
"I love history good or bad. We learn something new. I wanted my grandkids to see the area where John Brown has a statue in his honor. Also, you can look and see where enslaved people crossed the Missouri River in hopes of freedom. It is also the site of Western University a former HBC that gave former slaved a chance to go to college. There is still work going on to finish up Quindaro, but it is nice and worth a visit."
"Stopped by Christmas Eve. Parking closed so parked nearby. Could not see much from overlook and then site had a good amount of broken glass. Great idea, historic marker, and homage. Bummer folks don't take care of it."
"It holds a special place in the hearts of many Americans of African descent. Even as overgrown from lack of funds, it appears almost as if nothing has changed since the time of overt slavery."
"I came to this place back in 2003 before the Outlook structure oh, the signage, and the dedications were made. Thanks to kckcc Professor Steve Collins. Today's visit only allowed for the lookout structure. And not down into the ruins themselves. It's a beautiful location and so glad it's being celebrated and preserved."
