Tubman Museum

Nice day trip experience. There was an event taking place on the main floor so we only explored upstairs. Was surprised to see the Tyler Perry exhibit.

I visited the Tubman museum last week. It was a beautiful experience. I really liked the Tyler Perry exhibit. Since it was a field trip we were able to play African drums and listen to a story. It was worth the trip and the staff was very nice.

Tuman Museum is a great place to visit while in Macon and get a good glimpse into the art, history and culture of African Americans. Well organized (curated) and very educational. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Every piece of art has a message.

A fascinating museum with many exhibits are exceptional artworks. I gladly recommend a visit if you are in Macon.

Our tour guide was enthusiastic and informed in sharing the story and history of the museum as well as both some of the pieces of art donated to the museum. He engaged us by telling the history of the Craft Family of Macon, Ga. escape expedition to the North and eventually to England plus return to the United States in 1870. He was truly a historian of the Tubman History Museum. Thanks

To be called the Tubman museum, I was surprised to find very little actually related to Harriet Tubman. The Tyler Perry exhibit was far more extensive. That aside, the museum held a number of interesting exhibits, the staff was friendly, and they could certainly use all of our support in order to grow.

[Visit: March 28, 2024] L❤️ved this museum. Quiet and peaceful, everything a visitor could ask for in a museum. There are several classrooms that have local history in them, which are also famous individuals like Little Richard. Don't sleep on entering those spaces. There was even a film available to view in a couple of rooms. The Harriet Tubman section is on the second floor along the stairway. Very detailed with complementary artwork. Next to her exhibit is Tyler Perry's section, impressive as well as informative. The section following details the long history of African Americans in the US, from the Transatlantic Slave Trade to inventors to civil rights activist and to today's African American history makers. Presented artwork comes from all over the nation, as well as different age ranges. Visiting exhibits and artists are one the first floor, with local history references. All are complementary to the museum overall. I felt safe. I don't think I've ever had an unpleasant experience in Georgia, for that I'm very happy 😊. Thanks to the ladies outside who helped me with my free parking, I was again, very pleased as well as grateful. Parking alongside the building or in back is free. Parking in front, visitors must download the parking application and make their payment. There are police officers on duty in the area.

This was a great quick trip away from Atlanta. Short drive and good views. The museum was clean, the attendant was informative and nice. The exhibits were moving and well organized. I would recommend to all to go. The Tyler Perry exhibit was amazing as well.
