Explore historic attractions, institutions and unexpected sites of Black culture where Black lives matter. These destinations will fuel fascinating conversations about race and justice that too few travelers engage in.
Highlights of African American culture and history enrich travels in many regions. We’ve picked out compelling yet surprising sites of Black culture in Virginia, Massachusetts, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Missouri, Tennessee and Washington DC to spotlight.
Road Trip Along The Civil Rights Trail To Sites Of Black Culture
Additionally, the U.S. Civil Rights Trail leads the way to more than 100 of the country’s most important Civil Rights landmarks. Instead of limiting yourself to a city visit, plan a road trip across these 15 states to monuments of this human rights struggle. Pause at historic churches, courthouses, schools, museums and more unexpected sites of Black culture, primarily in the Southern states. Each site explores the activists who challenged segregation in the 1950s, 1960s and beyond to advance social justice.
The Civil Rights Trail designates the top destinations in order of historic importance to the movement. These include Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery, Alabama; Washington DC; Greensboro, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Nashville, Tennessee. Whether your family is searching for history, context or museums, it’s time to honor the battles fought by the oppressed.
Each has stories to tell about the American Civil Rights movement when we stop and listen.
Jamestown-Yorktown, Virginia Explore Where Slavery Started
Explore the lives of colonists, soldiers, slaves and other members of America’s first settlement in Virginia. The “Historic Triangle” comprises Jamestown, Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg. America’s first indentured servants arrived at Jamestown Settlement in 1619.
Are you familiar with the “1619 Project” and the streaming TV series? Jamestown’s living history site and museum explore how the Powhatan Indian, English and west central African cultures converged in the 17th century.
The multimedia American Revolution Museum is in Yorktown. It examines how the Revolutionary War and the 1781 Battle of Yorktown impacted everyone in the colonies. This unusual Black culture site looks at settlers, indigenous tribes, and enslaved and free African Americans. All fought on both sides of the American Revolution and made contributions to establish the nation.
Boston, Massachusetts, Where Free Blacks Fought For Freedom
Thanks to a long and illustrious history, Boston’s appreciation of African American culture goes way back to pre-Revolutionary times. Start your tour on Beacon Hill. Look for the Museum of African American History and the African Meeting House (1806), America’s oldest Black church. Explore the 1.6-mile-long Black Heritage Trail of pre Civil War homes, churches, businesses and schools. Don’t miss the exhibits at the restored ca. 1835 Abiel Smith School. It’s surprising to learn that the school was once owned by free Blacks and abolitionists in this very posh neighborhood – before the 1% moved in.
Join one of the fascinating, free 90-minute tours led by National Park Rangers. They are full of Black culture and history references. The Boston Massacre site outside the State House is where, on March 5, 1770, the free Black, Crispus Attucks — credited by some as sparking the American Revolution — was the first to die in opposition to British injustice. Re-enactments of the Massacre that killed five colonists take place outside the State House on the Freedom Trail during March.
Plan a weekend at the beach to tour the African American History Museum campus on Nantucket. This unexpected Black cultural destination is comprised of a nine-stop Black Heritage Trail that features a ca. 1774 home owned by the freed slave, Seneca Boston.
Indianapolis, Indiana Commits To Black Culture And Social Justice
Indianapolis is a socially conscious city. Even the Childrens Museum, founded in 1925, empowers all ages to question and act upon social injustice. “The Power of Children,” for example, is a permanent exhibit showcasing three kids who fought the challenges of their time. Each child tackled the Holocaust, racism, or living with HIV/Aids in a powerful way. This is a very thoughtful space for adults to engage children on these complex issues.
The busy Madame Walker Theatre Center is at the site of the cosmetics and hair-care empire founded by Madame CJ Walker. One of the earliest Black business successes, she was daughter of Louisiana slaves who relocated in 1910 to Indianapolis. Take a tour of the facility to see the stage where megastars like Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Gladys Knight performed. Guides share more about one of the country’s first female entrepreneurs — how unusual that she was Black — who was an active philanthropist for African American causes.
Niagara Falls, Unexpected Champion Of Black Rights And The Underground Railroad
Although New York abolished slavery by 1799, out-of-state travelers could keep slaves up to nine months while vacationing at the famous Niagara Falls. Thousands of 18th and 19th-century visitors -– many from the South -– actually did. At the Cataract Hotel and other tourist spots, sympathetic staff would help guests’ slaves. The Cataract Hotel celebrates those who escaped by boat or on foot to Canada while their masters slept.
The small port along the Niagara River became a final stop for freedome seekers because Canada was just a ¼-mile away. Blacks who could get away paid 25 cents for ferries heading to Ontario. Some freedom seekers lost their lives trying to swim across. A footbridge (now destroyed) at the site of today’s Whirlpool Bridge allowed Harriet Tubman to walk to freedom.
The Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center recounts this history and more, with a focus on what the local citizenry did. The tiny space is not much bigger than the barns with false floors and homes with hidden doors that sheltered so many along the Underground Railroad. Yet the museum effectively conveys Niagara Falls’ outsized impact on the movement and makes it a worthwhile Black culture destination.
North Carolina Celebrates A Black Rosenwald School
For those who don’t know, Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932) was a German-Jewish immigrant who made his fortune as president of Sears Roebuck. After helping to fund YMCAs for African-American communities in Alabama, in 1911 he met Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), a Black educator who founded the Tuskegee Institute. They discussed educational projects for young Black children and in 1913, opened the first Rosenwald school.
The unusual schools used a successful formula — matching Rosenwald’s money with local government and community funds — to foster collaboration in each community. By 1932, more than 5,350 Rosenwald schools, teachers’ housing and workshops had opened in 15 states.
With 813 schools, North Carolina once had more Rosenwald facilities than any other state. Ironically, after the Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1957 outlawed segregation, many fell into ruin. An estimated 60 buildings are said to survive.
The Panther Branch Rosenwald School, designed by America’s first accredited Black architect, Robert R. Taylor, served grades kindergarten through six from 1926-1957. Today, the Wake County community of Juniper Level in partnership with the local Baptist Church and the Juniper Level Botanic Garden, is restoring it to its original design.
Kansas City, Missouri Honors Unexpected Sites Of African American Heritage
The stories of Black lives and legacy are stored at the Black Archives of Mid-America. This collection guarantees that Black culture is woven into the rich cultural fabric of Kansas City, one of the nation’s largest railway hubs and a Midwest melting pot. Ease into city life with a slab of barbecue ribs and burnt ends at Arthur Bryant’s. The fluorescent-lit space has fed the hungry, presidents, and celebrities since 1940. Bryant, a celebrity chef in his time, is considered the scion of the “low and slow” method of grilling.
Around the corner at 18th and Vine is the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, where guides bring the story of segregation to life. Kids love the replica baseball field inside with life-size statues of the greatest players. The adjacent American Jazz Museum is packed with memorabilia and listening booths. Pause to appreciate Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie and Charlie Parker, among others. Check the schedule at the Blue Room, a family-friendly jazz club attached to the museum.
Don’t miss the World War I Museum, the nation’s most complete collection of that era, with some momentos from the 371st Infantry Regiment, part of the Colored Infantry that served in the war.
Black Culture Sites In Memphis, Tennessee And The Civil Rights Movement
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis while making a speech in support of fair wages for Black workers. The site of his death, the Lorraine Motel, now houses the comprehensive National Civil Rights Museum. Their collection includes a segregated bus, a lunch counter and other painful symbols of the Civil Rights movement. This must-see museum includes dozens of new films and interactive displays, making it even more engaging for young visitors.
Start a Memphis musical tour at the W.C. Handy Memphis Museum, home of the celebrated African American composer known as “father of The Blues.” Head past the clubs on Beale Street to see a century of music history at the Rock ‘N’ Soul Museum. The Stax Museum of American Soul Music is named for the Stax studio where the masters of soul recorded their hits. Every beat brings you a little closer to rock ‘n’ roll, the sound popularized by the famous shaking hips of Elvis Presley, whose home at Graceland is one of the city’s top attractions.
Paterson, New Jersey’s Unexpected Black Cultural Site Honors Baseball
Did you know that Alexander Hamilton founded Paterson as the country’s first planned industrial city? It was 1792, he was Secretary of the Treasury, and there was potential in the city’s Great Falls of the Passaic River to produce cheap electricity. Quality products made in this thriving manufacturing mecca ranged from locomotives to cotton, beer and the finest silk fabrics.
Factories attracted foreign immigrants and African Americans fleeing the South. In 1932, the town built Hinchliffe Stadium for its multi-ethnic high school’s sports teams. Then it hosted the 1933 Colored Championship of the Nation. In its heyday, the stadium hosted Negro League games by the New York Black Yankees, New York Cubans, and the Newark Eagles.
When hometown graduate Larry Doby earned a spot on the Newark Eagles, it launched a career that sent him to the MLB in 1947, right after Jackie Robinson. Learn more about Paterson’s history and hero Larry Doby at the on-site Charles J. Muth Museum.
Small yet informative, this Black cultural site is packed with memorabilia and exhibits about the Negro Leagues. Learn about Hinchliffe Stadium’s role in the Paterson community, where 24% of the population is Black. Be sure to see the short film, a very interesting history of Paterson. From the theater’s windows, you can look out and see the Great Falls where it all began. New Jersey Tourism maintains its own list of Black heritage sites in the state.
Washington, DC Honors African American Culture
Did you know Washington DC was the first major city run by an African-American mayor (Walter Washington in 1967)? Of course, it’s also the former home of arguably the most powerful Black man in the country, President Obama. The $120 million Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial to the Civil Rights leader is the first D.C. memorial dedicated to a person of color. Sites that celebrate the contributions of African Americans to this country abound.
Foremost is the National Museum of African American History and Culture, an incredibly rich collection about the African American experience. Dive deep into Black culture from slavery through the Civil War, to Reconstruction, the Civil Rights Movement and up through recent times. Get free timed-entry tickets online for same day entry on weekdays, or see if any walk-up tickets are available.
The National Cultural Heritage Center lists African American Heritage sites by neighborhood, with links to historic details. We suggest you begin at the luxurious Willard-Intercontinental Hotel, where Lincoln stayed prior to his inauguration. Dr. King wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech in the lobby. Print out and use the comprehensive African-American Heritage Trail guide to explore more of Washington’s Black culture.
Unusual Sites Of Black Culture Around Washington DC
The nation’s capital is packed with Black culture sites. Spend an afternoon at the African American Civil War Museum. This unusual African American culture site is the place to learn how the war shaped the lives of free blacks who served in the Union Army. Pause for a hot dog at Ben’s Chili Bowl U Street location. It was a favorite of President Obama and the site of many civil rights protests. Nearby is the museum home of the famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass. View the original Emancipation Proclamation at the National Archives.
Catch a show at the Howard Theatre. It was built in 1910 along DC’s “Black Broadway” to showcase vaudeville stars, musicians and the Howard University Players. Recently renovated, the theatre attracts The Roots, Mos Def, Esperanza Spalding and others to its famous stage.
Spend a day in the countryside at Mt. Vernon, George Washington’s home. You might not think of it as a Black culture site, but it showcases the lifestyle of Washington’s 316 slaves and their role at his estate. The first President’s will proclaimed that all his slaves should be freed after his wife Martha’s death. It never happened, but you’ll learn why at Mt. Vernon.
That gesture, nevertheless, was a first for the Founding Fathers, a sign that Black culture and Black lives mattered to the new nation.

Amazing Post! about Amsterdam
There’s one street in Baltimore that’s more festive than the rest. Every holiday season, the neighborhood of Maryland’s miracle on h Street is decked out in Christmas lights and festive displays. From a tree made of hubcaps to classic candy cane fixtures, each house is uniquely decorated.
Considering Northeast Ohio has plenty of breweries, as well, Thomann was asked if it’s more likely we’ll find the members of Dorfrocker touring different venues tasting beers or visiting the Rock Roll Hall of Fame?
Covid-19 certainly affects travels plan…Not long ago my friends were among passengers of the British cruise ship Braemar. And how could the US refuse to help the ship and close the borders?? Unlike the US, Cuba showed its humanity and friendship! Thank you Cuba
Would you like to stay in the gorgeous area around Keukenhof? You can! We have a broad range of great hotels and bed and breakfasts for you. Accommodations in Haarlem, Leiden or Amsterdam are also good options.
I will reach Amsterdam only on 19 May morning, the last day of the flower exhibit. Is it still worthwhile to go Keukenhof Gardens? Will there still be many flowers to be seen?
Tulips and other flowers mainly bloom during spring. March through May is therefore the best time to visit the Netherlands if you want to watch them in bloom. The world’s most beautiful spring park, the Keukenhof, is open during this time.
If a court order states that one parent can travel abroad with the child without the consent of the other parent, what documentation is required? We recommend carrying a copy of the court order stating that the other parent’s consent is not needed to travel abroad with the child. Any questions about the wording of the court order should be directed to a family lawyer.
If transporting your pet by air is the only option, find out whether they can travel in the cabin with you. Most airlines will allow you to take a cat or small dog in the cabin for an additional fee. But you must call the airline well in advance; there are limits to the number of animals allowed in the cabin. If you are transporting your dog, make sure they meet the size requirements. If you get overwhelmed by all the regulations, there are companies that can help you navigate through the process of flying with a pet.
Is a consent letter mandatory? There is no Canadian legal requirement for children to carry a consent letter. However, a consent letter may be requested by immigration authorities when entering or leaving a foreign country, airline agents or Canadian officials when re-entering Canada. Failure to produce a letter upon request may result in delays or refusal to enter or exit a country.

Rhonda, from a railman who started his train travel when he was 16, I would strongly suggest a Canadian Train Ride! Via Rail Canada offers four significant rides through wilderness and coastal areas with deluxe, overnight trains from Toronto to Vancouver ( 4 nights), and Montreal to Halifax, Nova Scotia (one night). Both offer a chance to have decent meals enroute, and sleeping car accommodations. Train crews tend to be a bit friendlier than south of the border, Canada, largely uninhabited, offers many scenic vistas with little hamlets few and far between, certainly a wonderful way for both of you to enjoy these new experiences.
Via Rail Canada also offers Railpasses, which enable you to travel on other routes as well for a bit of a price reduction. It’s all up to you!
Their website is http://www.viarail.ca for further information.
My son is a rail fan and we have traveled only in the US but I would love to surprise him with an excursion where he could talk to the train staff and railroad personnel. I would also like to include beautiful scenery as well for Both of us. My son is 16 and I am 59. We love to explore and don’t mind walking and roughing it!! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Get your pet geared up for a long trip by taking him on a series of short drives first, gradually lengthening time spent in the car. And please be sure to always secure the crate so it won??™t slide or shift in the event of a quick stop.
I really like your post!
This driving route of the Appalachian Trail parallels the epic hike. From the top of New England to the heart of Dixie, it takes you through continuous natural beauty—without the sweat, bugs, or blisters.

Many parents of individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder dread traveling or often avoid it altogether. Most people with ASD do better with routine and structure and a break from that (vacation) can often lead to stress and even meltdowns. Additionally, traveling by air can include having to navigate a multitude of unpleasant experiences from airport security procedures, moving sidewalks, and boarding tunnels to cramped seats, unfamiliar noises, and lots of strangers. Experts indicate that preparation and practice is the key to a successful flight and travel. Before your trip, talk with your child about what to expect. Go over the details of the travel: how you’ll get to the airport, wait in line, go through security, find your departure gate, get on the plane, buckle seatbelts, and spend time onboard. Flying to See Janet: A Fun Guide to the Airport Experience is a book you can use to prepare children for the unfamiliar sights and sounds of the airport experience. You can also write your own social story.

Emily, my coming of age years were the late 1970s, early 1980s at the YMCA. I agree with you about the open showers versus the individual shower stalls. From a guys perspective, I spent many nights and weekends swimming or playing basketball at my local YMCA. Showering with not only my friends, but over the years, dads, neighbors and guys from church. It really makes one comfortable, not in a sexual way, with one self and others. Never had the nude swimming, I think that ended in the 1960s as women/girls joined the YMCA, forcing may YWCAs to close their doors.
Amelie, here in the US a number of Korean Spas have opened. As with Japanese, Korean families bath together (grandmother, daughter, grand-daughter), (dad, son) separated by gender. They are starting to attract a diverse clientele (age, race, etc). So who knows, maybe the nude swimming will return to the Y someday.
The Ski and Snow Vacations for Families article is one of the best I have ever read!
You are doing a great job with https://myfamilytravels.com site.

I’m so happy that you enjoyed your experience at the Onsen!
I’ve never been to an Onsen, but I would love to get to visit one some day.
Back in the 1980s and 1990s my mom was the head supervisor at a YWCA in Ohio. I practically lived in the YWCA (not literally, of course) for the 19 years that my mom worked there. I had a part time job at the YWCA for a few years in the 1990s.
One of the great things about spending so much time at the YWCA was that I grew up using the locker room all of the way from a young child to a young woman and being 100% comfortable with both my own nudity and the nudity of all other females.
I feel that it was so much better back then when the Y had one big room full of shower heads on the walls than it is with stalls these days. The group shower setting was great from a bonding experience. I feel that it’s much healthier psychologically speaking that females are exposed to other women’s and girl’s bodies, as opposed to feeling that we need to hide from each other and change clothes in toilet stalls or under towels.
One of the benefits of having a mom who was a supervisor of the Y was that after hours my mom and my sisters and myself could just skinny dip in the pool, and my sisters and I were allowed to have our female friends with us for a skinny dipping session on Friday and Saturday nights.
Also, my aunt and a few of my female cousins would skinny dip with my mom, my sisters and I every once in a while.
My mom said that she had heard that the YWCA used to have one night a week that was for nude swimming back in the 1960s and most of the 1970s. Obviously it was a female only facility at the time.
Dubbed the Great Northern in memory of the pioneer railroad that parallels the western half of the route, US-2 is truly the most stunning and unforgettable, not to mention longest, of all the great transcontinental road trips.
