After visiting many civil rights museums; this by far was the most informative and the most enjoyable. First we met Mary, who was at the front desk - she was very pleasant and helpful. Our guide was Vaughnette and she was excellent. She kept everyone engaged. We learned so much about the history of Savannah and the history of the civil rights movement. All of the exhibits were exceptional. It felt as if we were back in that time. These two ladies made us feel like family. I am telling everyone to make this a part of their Savannah visit. We left the museum feeling empowered and uplifted. Please put the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum on your must see list. Best time ever‼️

What an eye-opening experience!! I will never forget this museum and everyone should come and see this historical place. I'm not a huge history buff, which attests to how well this facility kept my interest! It is handicap accessible (Elevators) and the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable!! Thank you for making our trip an unforgettable one! Side note: There is an exhibit that allows you to sit and be served as a "white" person or a "colored" person of the 1960's,-such an emotional experience! That's all I'm going to say!

Great stop on our tour of Savannah. Enjoy the tour of this civil right museum, it was dedicated to movement of Ga and Savannah but it was a great learning experience, had a lot of visual artifacts and pictures. It even have a video during of some civil rights activists from the past. You really get a true since of the past and being a part of the movement. Was unable to take photos of the inside, but the memories will last a lifetime.

This was a wonderful experience. The history was fascinating, and it was incredible to learn about the struggles and sacrifices our ancestors faced for education, voting, and more. It's astonishing that we still encounter challenges and reminders today. This museum exhibit was filled with rich history, and we will definitely visit again with our kids. Thank you for providing such a valuable and educational experience.
