It was awesome! It was a great experience and very educational

$12/person for about an hour lecture type setting.It appeared to be printed off photos and pasted information below the photos on index cards. The house was previously owned by people who had helped runaway slaves, and the furniture inside are all fictional (i.e., placed in there and not authentic).Challenging to discern the factual information vs. opinion and speculation.Questions were met with Ill let you know the important information and no answers.Stood the entire lecture and no sitting available.Not recommended; recommend the National Civil Rights Museum.Parking lot with free parking and a gift store.

Well we learned some things. I was disappointed not being able to get some pictures of the inside of historical things used back then being a museum and all. This is said to be a house that help slaves to get to freedom down the Mississippi River two blocks in front of the house. I think all young people should visit this house because the crawl spaces the slaves hide in the house is a must see.

My kids and I absolutely loved this place. We learned a lot and my young son even wanted the amazing poster that we framed and hung in our home

The guided tour was fantastic and informative. This is more than a museum, it’s a piece of history. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and put together a great tour! Would highly recommend! Would also recommend to see the home in general - built in the 1800s, it’s neat to see the way people lived at that time. :)

The Madame thats running the slave plantation needs basic customer service. She was very disappointing , disrespectful and unprofessional. I would have love to speak to her manager. She failed miserably.

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

During the covid 19 youre going to have to make an appointment by phone and go into the back entrance. This is a super informative tour, youre going to learn stuff you wouldnt be taught in school.

Our family enjoyed an informative and enlightening visit to this historical site. The museum is worth the price of admission and the small home is filled with artifacts that pertain to the Under Ground Railroad. The tour gave us a first hand experience of what life would have been like for slaves escaping the horrors of slavery. The guides were exceptional in their knowledge and presentation of the history. Very informative and highly recommended for every single person to visit.

I have taken multiple tours on the topic of slavery in the past, but I still learned quite a bit more on this tour. I love the history of the building and the live tour. There was even some singing, good singing. Impressed. Also loved the warm welcome from the kittens in the backyard.

Interesting home no guide on premises, locked up due to covid-19 from window outside looking in place looks neat not worth $12.00

Beautiful place!! My only disappointment is that we were not able to take the 3 hour tour (3/12/19). We were told its only for groups on 10 and it has to be scheduled in advance. Its not clear on the website. The day we visited, there was enough people for 3 buses which would could have clearly generated a lot of money at $43 a person for the tour compared to $13 a person for the museum visit. Other than this, I was very pleased. I wish they would just have scheduled tours throughout the day. Just my opinion....

Visiting this museum is an incredibly powerful and moving experience. The amazing tour guides brought the past to life with their vast knowledge, deep passion, and fantastic story telling. I cant recommend this visit highly enough, for people of all different ages (the tour guides were also exceptionally good at tailoring their tours to young visitors).

Very rich history. I learned a lot from the tour.

Enjoyed my visit here. So much knowledge of the slaves journey. Tour guides were phenomenal and cultured. Brought my nephew to learn his history. They gave him an honorary abolitionists certificate which he was stoked about. Will definitely be coming back to take notes as theres a picture policy.

The light skinned young lady working there has a personality of gold, shes very knowledgeable and you can tell she enjoys what she does. I just hate that you cant take pictures once you enter, so you have to enter ready to listen and not have distractions. I took pics when I left out, just to bring back some memories. Its good learning the history of slaves, and what our ancestors had to go through for freedom if they had the courage to flee. It was a lot to take in in such a short time, the whole tour took maybe 1 hour, but its well worth the visit.

The best part of this tour is the staff. They are extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about their work. One woman even sang traditional slave songs and explained their meanings. (she had a good voice too!)

Such a wonderful experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The two people giving the tours were very knowledgeable and great story tellers. Definitely recommend!

Very good display and knowledgeable staff.

Our guide gave us a moving insight into the reality of slavery. This museum is small and unsophisticated yet manages to draw you in and touch your soul. My wife particularly appreciated the explanation of the symbolism of the quilting patterns she has used without knowing the meaning behind them.

Really enjoyed our visit. The guide was knowledgeable and well versed in the history of Memphis and its place in history relating to the Underground Railroad. The tour was well worth the price of admission although it could be a bit crowded at times and they could use a few more docents.

Dont listen to the ignoramuses that are rating this place low. If youre in the area, you should absolutely go see this. The guides are knowledgeable and the experience is one that I wont forget.

This was very powerful..the trees are so beautiful they tell there own story..Amazing how this landmark still stands showing how slaves hid out until there could go free

Ill just be bold and say it this way: my 13y.o. daughter and I agree that this was a more personal, and therefore more meaningful experience than the Nat. Civil Rights Museum. To stand where the nearly free stood, to see things as they really were is a new light. This isnt a history book. This is walking into history. The understanding is therefore deepened in the way it deserves to be if the world is ever to change in all the ways it should.

Very informative, fully narrated tour by staff! No photos allowed inside, but I feel like with all the facts and the experiences inside you dont need it. Glad I was able to visit!

Very knowledgeable staff! I think everyone should visit here ast least once.

Awesome information about slavery, slaves and their freedom. Sobering.

Awesome experience and a wealth of knowledge

It was awesome. The ladies did an fantastic job on engaging the group. I even purchased a t shirt. I will most definitely be back with family and friends

A must visit if you want to understand the struggle and History of America.

Pretty amazing place unlocking a piece of history’s hardships. The guide informed us about the amazing, fascinating story of the people who lived in this old building willing to risk their lives in playing a part on the Underground Railroad.

More in depth knowledge and tour of slavery and what they went through.

Extremely educational. We had our 9 year old with us and he also learned so much. It’s a must see for families who are looking for black history facts.

The tour was very informative and the guides were fantastic. I wish everyone could go on this type of tour, my 10 year old learned so much more than he’d ever get out of a text book.

A really powerful presentation, the tour was compelling, well put, super education even for a history nerd like myself, and a truly important story that everyone should hear. We need more heroes, we need more empathy, we need more understanding.

The lady who did my tour was amazing informative and extremely knowledgeable. Overwhelming emotions ran thru me but I left educated enlightened and I would suggest anyone who is the area to stop there take the tour open your eyes and your heart and have tissues on hand. If I ever go to Memphis again I will go back here. I didnt take photos out of respect. Next time I will ask if its allowed.

Great historical compand

Well worth the ticket price with excellent tour guides through the home with lots of context and historical facts shared.

Slave Haven Museum is a very awsome experience. The tour guides are very delightful, animated, and very knowledgeable about this part of our history. I learned so many things just from a one time visit to this museum.

This historic place is amazing!! The tour guides there are amazing and passionate about the history. I highly recommend this place for everyone

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

This is a house, that at one time was on the slave underground. Its a small house, but the tour is guided. The guide did a superb job of telling that story of the house and painted a picture of the slave trade in general. Worth going to if you are interested in the slave condition and history. Cost was $12 per adult.

It was VERY interesting but the tour guide spoke very fast and the tour seemed rushed. It was too crowded and a lot of students had questions and wanted to know more but didn’t get a chance to asked about the artifacts or given hints. Stop rushing and fix that credit card machine.

Every one needs to put this place on their agenda.

GO!! RIGHT NOW!! BRING YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS...ESP YOUR CHILDREN. Hidden gem in Memphis...off the tourist track...that is FULL of one of a kind info.A completely visceral experience that should NOT be missed by any African Person. All kinds of incredible.

A awesome experience,I think child of color should visited this the slave haven,its an eye opener

We had a wide range of opinions on our experiences here. My mom didnt like it because she didnt learn anything new (former history teacher). I didnt think that was the point of the visit. Weve heard the stories - whats it like to stand in the place where people lived it and imagine their experiences? I really liked it, especially the singing, drumming, and information about the quilts. And I wanted my son to stand in this house and hear these stories in a place that gave them some context.There were some issues, but they werent deal breakers for me. A kid outside had to point us to the entrance (its the back door of the front house). The credit card machine was down (luckily, I had cash). It was hot and crowded (we just squeezed on in - I dont suppose being squished below deck on a slave ship was comfortable either; it added to the experience). We had to leave before the tour ended. The cashier jumped up and said, Let me show you the basement before you head out. She took us on a quick tour of the highlights of the house that she didnt think should be missed. So kind. Personally, Im glad that I went.

I loved it me and my uncle enjoyed it very much so informative our tour guides new what they were talking about and i am so happy that there are people that preserve our history

Tour guide VERY informative. We all learned a lot.

It was very informative!! I actually learned some interesting facts. Im very glad I went. It was time & money well spent!! Only thing is you cant take pictures so dont take your camera!

A must see if you are in Memphis. Once home to abolitionist, Jacob Burkle, this home was built specifically to be used on the underground railroad. Museum staff will take you on a tour of the house, let you see the tunnel that runs under the house, and let you stand in the cellar where the runaway enslaved Africans would wait until it was safe to go to the next station on The Underground Railroad.

Excellent presentation of the Mid-Atlantic slave trade! Very informative!

Very eye-opening experience! Great place to take the family for a learning experience!

Wonderful! So glad we went. Very informative and the tour lady is excellent with her presentation and information. Encourage all to tour when in the area. Educational.

The Most meaningful museum about slavery in Memphis. The tour guide was very good. Fyi..there is a parking lot. And more parking on the street for larger RVs. Highly recommended.

Very informative! Never knew quilts were used in the underground railroad! They need to make a movie about that, i would definitely like to see a reenactment of how they read the quilts to understand what to do. They desperation to escape slavery was very strong for them to withstand all the things they had to go through.

Go right now!! This place should be visited by ALL Black people AND ALL persons of color while living in or visiting Memphis. A true one of a kind visceral experience that celebrates OUR strength and fortitude. Do not miss it!!

Super informative and worth a stop for sure!!

It seems a little unimpressive as you drive up and a lot of the displays are simple, but the history of the house is rich and the ladies who work there are very knowledgeable. It was a very interesting tour and extremely educational. We spent about 2 hours there. I wish she had left out a political jab at our current president which seemed a little uncalled for. Overall I would recommend it.

Excellent tour. About an hour long. We learned a lot. To stand in the dark cellar where enslaved people hid was a powerful experience. I also liked how history was connected with more recent racist acts and acts to shine a light on embedded racism. I had my kids ages 11 and 16 and I recommend it for families.

Loved my visit. Small but very informative

Extremely informative! Guide was very knowledgeable. Its a shame the way black folk were treated during slavery time. This tour was a very humbling experience and ALL people of every color should make time for a Slave Haven visit.

Loved the tour . Learned alot and the tour guides were amazing not a single boring moment.

So much accurate history that is not in any textbooks I ever had

Very interesting place to see what Memphis was like during the final years if slavery. Would have liked to walk around at my own pace but you feel like you have to hang with the tour

I learned so much from this place. The tie guide was very friendly and informative

First lets start with hospitality. Young female has no greeting experiences. Too many people are coming afar to visit this Historic spot. I could not look pass the coldness.

Loved all the history. The only thing I would change is all the standing at the beginning while the history is being told. Hard for the elderly to stand that long. Besides that it is a good place to put on the list for places to visit.

Worst experience Ive ever had. Very unprofessional. I came to learn not to be sold bowties and bubble bath.

This is an amazing tour!!!! The most welcome we felt in the 2 days in Memphis (Hotel, VIP Graceland tour...). Very knowledgeable gentleman(morning til 1/2 past Noon, Mon, July 8, 2919)explained everything about the House, slavery and stereotyping still done today (and more) in detail. The price was very low too!

This was the most informed tour Ive ever been on. The house is small, but the information is HUGE! Worth every penny.

Cool historic site to see in Memphis, but the tour guides should review their history more.

Great experience staff was Excellent. A must see.

Guide was awesome, info was awesome, price was fair. They let people who come late join in and repeat info for them. I get why but its a lot of standing in place, already, to do that for an existing group.

What a great museum! Our tour guides were super knowledgeable. My kids were fascinated with the stories.

Historical lot of learning great learning experience great culture great for African American history

We had a couple of guide. They both were awesome.

If you are in the area, you MUST go! I had an excellent experience! The tour guides are great! They are very accommodating and ensure you learn!

Very important tour to take if you are in the area. Guides are very detail oriented & knowledgeable. Very deep/heavy content, but, important.

You hear about how the slaves hide out, but to accurately see and stand in the same place is an amazing thing

Ive visited Memphis several times but didnt know about this little gem! This tour was very informative. Ive visited several other plantations in different cities, this one is definately one of my favorites.

I loved it ️ Cant wait to go back

A great historical look into the life of the 19th century, the experience of a slave, and the abolitionist movement. The ladies who lead the tour are passionate and knowledgeable. We appreciated how it seemed every wall of the house had displays that were part of the tour. Definitely make this a priority tour on your visit to Memphis.

Was a great introduction to learning more about the American slave history, our guide was able to answer all our questions and was very passionate and knowledgeable. She even sang us a traditional song with secret messages in it and explained what the lyrics meant. Brilliant visit and would recommend.

A historical must. Its interesting and I learned new aspects of slavery. A heavy visit emotionally but worth it.

This is museum is amazing ,the guides are so knowledgeable about slavery and the underground railroad.

This was an amazing experience. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. It looked like from the online reviews that there wouldnt be much to see, but having been there, I am so glad we went. It was so educational and interesting and much more than it looks from pictures. Its not just a house but an important piece of American history and the guides did such a great job covering hundreds of years and truly telling the story of slavery and the abolitionist movement.

Great presenters! A small house with 2 white people risking their lives funneling slave up North. Dont miss it.

Amazing look at a stop on the Underground Railroad. The guides were lively and informative. Highly recommended.

The tour guide here was very informative and truly knew the goings-on in the house. She seemed very well educated and youre able to tell that this subject matter is very close to her heart. I definitely recommend checking this location out. Whether youre a local or a tourist you will enjoy slave Haven.

Really enjoyed will surely recommend it must see

Very informative. And very much worth it.

The museum and tour get 5 stars. The two ladies over the tour were very knowledgeable.As others have posted the last year, the lady doing ticket sales had some type of attitude and made little to no eye contact. Of course, the credit card machine is still broken after all of this time. When we said we didnt have cash, she offered a PayPal option. Not sure if shes ever offered option to anyone before. But we ended up paying that way with no problems.

It was very educational about black history of under ground slave rescue.

Very experienced guides who knew their stuff. Great museum with great history.

The tour guide was incredible. Great experience!

Probably the best tour i have ever taken.Very educational and the staff is amazing !

Great Tour, powerful feeling, and knowledgeable tour guides.

My sister and I went some 5+ years ago. It was really really awe inspiring. The way the Havens story was told kept me on the edge of my seat. Very educational but exciting and fun.

It was VERY informative! To say the least! My wife and took our daughter there and we all were very pleased with information and knowledge that was given. Our daughter more so was pleased to see two young African-American women conducting the tour. Thank you both for adding to our daughters list of positive role models!
