What visitors say
This beautiful building is a fitting place to tell the life story of a very brave woman. I learned a lot of new information about Mrs. Parks' life before and after the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It's a must-see when you travel to…
Never been before so glad I went on this field trip with my grandson. Our guides were awsome very informed. Thank you Rosa Parks.
Highly recommend!! This is truly an experiential exhibit. My family was enthralled by the reenactment of the bus and arrest. The 3-part experience really was well done! Thank you to ALL folks who work at this museum, they are so helpful…
