This museum is located 6 miles from city center and overlooks the beautiful skyline of Philadelphia. Here liberated slaves arrived under cover of night arrived despite great danger to find safe haven in the Belmont Mansion's attic enroute the freedom. The exhibits were primarily recorded testimonials of slaves' reflections during their times living in slavery. The main house focuses more on the abolitionists' efforts and the role of the Peters' family and the use of their property for the Underground Railroad. I hope the museum will continue to improve w funding for expansion and upkeep. I only wished there were personal tours rather than self guided ones.

At my Neice wedding it was so beautiful
Very nice restored mansion, lots of informative exhibits. I was especially impacted by the many stories related by people who actually lived through slavery. The staff was also very nice and personable! There's also a beautiful view of the Philly skyline right outside. You should check it out!
I visited the Museum for a meeting The inside of the venue is very nice. I loved the large windows. I do plan to return to tour the museum.
