"A beautiful and thoughtful place that shares the culture of Jim (an actual good person)."
"Cool old building and nice memorabilia"
"Jim’s Journey is an important part of the Mark Twain tour. Learn about Daniel Quarles, the inspiration for Twain’s Character, Jim, in one of the oldest original structures in Hannibal. If you are visiting Hannibal to learn about Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher - Jim’s Journey is a critical part of the storied tour - don’t miss this opportunity. It’s Northeast Missouri’s only Black History Museum; don’t let the size of building deter you, it is packed full of great history. It’s a gem of a visit"
"What a very nice place to visit. You learn a lot about the history here. If you are looking to gain some knowledge about Hannibal this is your stop."
"Bravo to the courageous couple who established a living archive to the history of African Americans in Hannibal. Jim's Journey preserves and presents a wealth of documents, photos, possessions, that testify to the persistence and resiliency of the local African American community during the era of segregation and Jim Crow."
