Guided Tour Registration

To register for a guided tour, your party must include at least 5 people, regardless of ticket type. As we are a volunteer organization, guided tours must be scheduled at least one week in advance to ensure we have enough docents onsite. We are unable to accommodate smaller groups for guided tours at this time.

Visiting Without a Guided Tour
If you are not reserving a guided tour, you are welcome to visit the museum at any time during opening hours. No minimum group size is required. Admission is free, and docents are onsite to answer questions. Donations are appreciated.

If you have any questions prior to your visit please reach out to us.

A Note On Accessibility:

The African American Cemetery Interpretive Trail is ADA compliant; however, certain access points are not. If you have questions or concerns please contact us to discuss prior to your visit.
