*90 Minute Guided Tours Available via website lwfsm.com Lest We Forget Museum of Slavery is the only museum in the tri-state area with an extensive collection of authentic artifacts from the transatlantic slave trade. Our riveting artifacts speak for themselves and reveal the TRUE story of how differently “Coming To America” was for millions of enslaved African ancestors captured and brought to the Americas and other parts of the world.

Genuine “Jim Crow” objects, articles, segregation signs and other related material show how decades of bigotry and discrimination greatly impeded black achievement and continues to have a lasting impact today.
