Wasn't at all like the negative reviews on here. The ladies have a tough topic to talk about. But they're certainly far from abrasive. There were no minorities in my whole group that was going through there and everything was very informative, enlightening and personally pretty Chillin seeing what heartless people have done through the centuries.
I think all black people need to see this experience and some whites but I don't think that black should have to pay for the entry on that it should be State funding to pay the workers there even though it's part of our ancestry and turmoil in bondage
Also, do not leave anything out in your vehicle, you may walk out to a busted window.
yes, I find it odd that the card machine doesn't work. Yet they were kind enough to trust I'd bring it back after the tour as an option to prevent inconvenience. It definitely should be constiently working considering they are a tourist attraction per possible big groups.
I see I'm not the only one that noticed the tour guide wit the slick ponytail seem irritated presenting the tour as if she was rushin it. I had two little boys in my group and she was not patient wit there inquiries at all. The tour didn't seem children welcoming. She just kept brushin them off rudely, during my tour she had to take a phone call and two other guides intervened, they seems more pleasant and patient.
As far as information and setup it was good and informative. I think they need to have more historic fact information about the slaves actually being within the home.
My husband and I attempted to see the museum and learn a bit of its history. Unfortantley, unbeknownst to us, their credit card machine was down and they do not have an atm on property. The cost is $10 per person, we only had $8 on us and asked the front clerk if we could use that. She attempted to send us across town to a nearby atm then return. Due to a bit of a narrow schedule we decided to forgo the museum. As we walked out she called us rude because we decided to move on to our next activity.
I attended two weeks ago...
I think it could have been a great experience. When we arrived there was a large group there and my family was just thrown in with them. The music portion was really nice. The tour felt rushed like it was time for them to close and I kind of got the feeling that they wasn't used to larger groups. At the end we didn't even know it was over because the woman just went and sat behind the desk. We had to ask!
