Definitely a stop to make when you're in the area. Great layout with enough artifacts to tell a story

Absolutely incredible museum. Really eye opening to the horrors of slavery and bravery and resolve African Americans have shown through centuries of mistreatment.Also got in free because of it being the 5th or 3rd Sunday of the month!

This museum was visually beautiful, but too much reading. As a teacher, I'd have liked a bit more immersive/ interactive experiences.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a museum of conscience, an education center, a convener of dialogue, and a beacon of light for inclusive freedom around the globe.
Since opening in 2004, we have filled a substantial void in our nation’s cultural heritage. Rooted in the stories of the Underground Railroad, we illuminate the true meaning of inclusive freedom by presenting permanent and special exhibits that inspire, public programming that provokes dialogue and action, and educational resources that equip modern abolitionists.
