One word sums up this cozy, quaint history museum: DOPE. Loved the place so hard, enjoyed the exhibits and was also assisted by some of the finest Curators, Kristi and Nolan. They kept me on my toes with amazing conversation and filled my big head with some legit knowledge. Yo Durham, give these two a raise

What an incredible opportunity to learn about the specific events that have helped to shape Durhams history! This may be Durhams best kept secret!

The front desk staff were very nice, but theres not really much here to see. What little they had was decently presented, but they didnt use the space well and there wasnt really summary of the history of Durham.

Great spot. Packed with information. Wonderful history. Three stars because it deserves a far larger building and more historical data and value on civil rights actions, and injustices against minorities in the past. Give us the real history.

A lovely space that is jam packed with information about Durham. I appreciate that it had activities for all age levels, so my toddler could play while my husband and I learned more about our city! The ladies working the desk were very friendly and helpful.

The Museum of Durham History is small but it is very enjoyable and you can learn a lot. The museum changes what type of history is in the museum every month or two. The letter of the alphabet that they are on goes with the word that the things in the museum is about. When I was there they were on J and they had history about Jazz in Durham North Carolina.

This is the Little Museum, with the Big Museum inside. The exhibits change frequently, and they are bound to peak your interest in the city and its history. There is a nice library of books on Durham as well as old yearbooks from high schools. They throw great openings for their exhibits, too.

Great place for locals and non-locals to learn more about Durham, NC. Great for people of all ages and has different interactive features in exhibits. Also put on fun free events with live music, food trucks, and beverages.

A small, nice museum. A little too small to be worth going out of your way for, but worth stopping by if you are already in the area and want to burn 15-60 minutes.

Lots of information for adults, but the young kids are going to be mad about being taken here. I would rather experience a place like this, than to Google the court of Durham and wade through all of that.
