I have very little complaints. More lockers. That's my complaint. It is a soul stirring experience. They'll tell you you can start where you want, but you need to start below ground with the "history" part. If you're not moved, you might want to check your pulse.

Text heavy exhibitions, but boy is it all needed and important information. The museum tells a comprehensive story of the black soldier via the black experience at large, including time periods well before and after the Civil War. Staff is A++++. One of the few museums that offer equally compelling experiences for visitors AND DC residents alike.

GO!! If you value REAL history and want to learn some amazing things, check this place out!! Be prepared, theres a TON of reading but its so very worth it. The staff that was on duty was so incredibly personable and one gentleman even taught my son how to load a musket. They give kids a passport to get stamped at different places. And this place is off the beaten path a bit which makes it NOT crowded, free parking, and free entry. By far one of the highlights of my trip!!

A lot of history in a relatively small location! The employees were friendly & well researched in OUR history. Hopefully, the people that go will unlearn the lies they've been fed & relearn the true history

I loved it as did my students. We took 40 students and they left with books, museum supported Passports to Freedom and lots of answers to their interested questions. Exceptional visit.
