Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum

Everyone no matter race creed or color should get this REAL HISTORY Lesson.

Must see and visit history

Me and my family were excited to see real history and the Slave Haven Museum, but as we entered, the lady at the front desk was stumbling over her words, and seemed like she was on something so I had a feeling it wasn’t going to go well. She was saying we couldn’t use card because she didn’t want to start the register just yet. That threw us off, but we proceeded to pay with cash and we were ready for the tour. She then puts a speaker on and says “you’ll just listen to her instructions and look at the walls for instruction.” then walked out the room. The recording was so confusing to listen to, giving no instructions as to where to look and the girl on the recording was talking so fast. It was as if it assumed we knew what we were looking at already. We weren’t the only ones confused either. We decided to just look around a little as we listened, because it was that confusing. The lady at the front desk then comes out the back, with an attitude, saying “you need to listen to the recording otherwise you’re not going to get what’s going on”. We told her we thought it was confusing and asked if she could show us a little instead. She, again, kept making no sense and was clearly getting agitated which was very unprofessional. It almost seemed like she didn’t know what was even going on herself. We ended up just getting a refund and left. Won’t be recommending that place for anyone, which is upsetting because there’s so much history to learn and see there.

I remember when I went here when I was 12 years old, with the neighborhood Christian Center, it was so inspiring and informative to learn about my history and the inappropriate culture of American slavery they sugar code in my college history books to sound voluntary. These are things I wouldn’t learn in school because some of our White administration teachers would always find the best way to criticize Black history anytime it promoted Ruth’s they were uncomfortable with. Like in the comments. But it was amazing to see it and I can’t wait to see it again now that I’m 22 years old. I plan a visit my hometown to see it again very soon with my classmates from Harvard.
