Free People of Color Museum

This was by far the best tour I have ever taken at any museum or facility. Jyna gives tour and plays the part brilliantly. It was filled with information and she kept my interest. All I can say is BRAVO and give a standing ovation!!! She also tries to engage tourist which makes you feel a part of it all. I left wanting to learn more! The history of the beginning of blacks and creoles is so unique and beautiful!!! It shows how people of African descent are intelligent, industrious and even when held back will find ways to excel. Even in 18th century there was an 80% literacy rate among these people. The young lady who checked us in was also very nice and inviting! She also shared information regarding the NOAAM which is in walking distance (.7 miles). If you arrive early you are allowed to walk around museum and take photos with no flash. I highly recommended visiting this museum if in New Orleans. The tours are only on Friday and Saturday and only once each day so please check schedule. You must also book tour online and an email will be sent pay for in advance. It’s worth every penny and I highly recommend allowing yourself to have this wonderful experience!!
