Enjoyed the educational exhibits, films and themes of this historic site. Particularly appreciated the "legacy" exhibit. Glad to see so many student groups there.

I had heard the phrase but did not know the extent of it. This museum tells the whole story. It was quiet emotional. There are quizzes to take, videos to view and many, many signs to read. The ranger was so helpful and the book store was wonderful. I plan to return as soon as I am in Topeka. Guide...

I have toured the facility as well as attended a few speech events here. The facility is well-maintained, peaceful, and enriching.
AMAZING! From the moment I walked into the school and saw the White/Colored signs I was whisked away into an era that wasn't that long ago. It beautifully captured a horrible moment in time. I highly recommend it!
Love every aspect of this legendary historic site. I found myslef delving into every area of each exhibit

I took my class of visiting Ecuadorian teachers here...

This small historic site is well worth a visit! It is located in the original segregated school building of Monroe Elementary and includes several rooms of exhibits related to school and general segregation, civil rights, and relevant situations we experience today.
The information is presented exceptionally well- very thought out, but not overwhelming and the exhibits are new and clean...

This was an unexpected detour on our way home from Oztoberfest. To stand on the steps of the school building and walk the halls was surreal. The first view is of two signs: White and Colored. Hearing audio recordings and seeing images from the desegregation of schools was upsetting and healing. I am so thankful that this history is preserved...

This site has taken a difficult time in the nation's history and turned it into an excellent teaching/learning facility. The displays are really interesting and many can be explored in different ways allowing for different levels of interest in any one aspect of the exhibits. There is much of the other history of the civil rights era presented as well....

The National Park Service operates this historic site. It is in the former Monroe Elementary School that was one of four segregated elementary schools for African American children. I had no idea of what to expect. But I knew I wanted to make time to visit here. It is not far from the capitol, but not really walking distance. There...
