An amazing forgotten part of history. Highly recommend this for any age. I learned quite a bit not only about Houston history but American history.

It was a completely incredible experience. I was raised in Houston and had no idea of the black brilliance that literally pathed the way. Thank you for preserving this story.

Great history lessons to be learned here and so cool that you get to learn while seeing the actual homes these historic figures lived in! The RBHY group is doing awesome work to preserve the history and share it with the community. Cant wait to see how this museum grows over time!

This is a significant and moving part of Houstons history. A tour of Yates home was enlightening because of the wonderful docents. A walk around the block revealed brick streets that I didnt know existed, built by the residents, many of whom were bricklayer. Treat yourself.

I enjoyed visiting this quiet house in fourth ward. Its one of several historical homes and churches all which are in walking distance from one another. The white picket fences really make it stand out. I only wish the museum section or house interior was open at the time. From what I hear, the inside is like going back in time. Make your way down to Bethel church, then walk here and you experience the true history of the Yates family and other freed blacks as they lived here after slavery was abolished. Perfect location to learn history of the area.

The Yates museum is a window into a forgotten part of Houstons history. Inside, youll learn about resilience of a burgeoning black community post slavery. This museum pays homage to and seeks to protect what gentrification and excessive development is destroying. However, through the work of the community and volunteers the history of Freedmans Town will hopefully live on to educate future generations.
