A really informative and important moment to remember. Making this a National Park Historical place was the right thing. A well put together resource to remember the historic court cases that abolished segregation in schools. Something that sane and logical people need to continue to remember and uphold the ideals of good.

I finally had time to visit and I'm so glad I did! I will return again. All the Park Rangers and volunteers were very supportive and helpful. I learned a great deal and I know my next visits I'll pick up more information. Their bookstore/gift shop is small but I found my book to describe what I just experienced, my NPS coin (no penny smasher), bumper sticker, t shirt and NPS tote. Oh and magnet. It's free, so I didn't "get to show" my America the Beautiful pass but they had a donation box to help support the Park, which I did. It's important to support our National Parks and historical sites. I will support it as often as I am in Topeka. Update: Another great visit. I found my key chain for van. I arrived with a good size group engaged with a Ranger. Very informative and knowledgeable. I always learn something new with each visit.

A must see/do for any person interested in history, civil rights, or government. So much to learn here so that history does not repeat itself. It is sad that this is part of our American history, yet so important to learn from. All the exhibits are so well done. Staff was also excellent. Nice gift shop. Free parking lot across the street. No entry fee.

What an awesome bit of History! The guide was very knowledgeable about the History and had a passion for the story. We felt like we were transformed back in time! My children enjoyed the lesson!

Great information, more than you'd think for the size of the space. No tickets required. They have passport stamps and Junior ranger programs. Appropriate for very little kids other than possibly one section that has videos of civil rights marches. Took 2 hours to go through but we didn't watch every video. There is accessible parking but normal visitor parking is across a grass lot. Park Rangers were knowledgeable and helpful. We really learned a lot, would definitely go back.

What an important place to have in this country. The history held in this school is powerful and something we're very glad our kids were able to experience this summer. The Rangers were stellar and kept the kid's attention well with their informative lessons.

This was a super cool stop on a long trip we took for vacation. We just stopped for a break from riding in the car to stretch our legs and wasn't expecting it to be as great as it was. It was educational and interesting and didn't cost a thing. It's a great place to take your kids to teach them about history and loving others. We all wished we had a little more time to spend there. I would definitely recommend taking some time to explore this museum.
