Our history! All should stop by this gem and historical place! Home turned museum of this giant of a contributor to the successful establishment of African Americans to Houstons Freedmans Town! Truly up there with all the museums in Houston! The tour guides are a wealth of information!

Gives a glimpse of such an incredibly important chapter of Houston history and contributes so much to the community

I love hearing and learning about the history of my people!!! The Freedmans Town models were created by the Architectural students at the greatest HBCU ever...Thee Prairie View A&M University where we PRODUCE PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE!!! We have so much rich African-American history in Houston.

I enjoyed visiting this quiet house in fourth ward. Its one of several historical homes and churches all which are in walking distance from one another. The white picket fences really make it stand out. I only wish the museum section or house interior was open at the time. From what I hear, the inside is like going back in time. Make your way down to Bethel church, then walk here and you experience the true history of the Yates family and other freed blacks as they lived here after slavery was abolished. Perfect location to learn history of the area.

The Yates museum is a window into a forgotten part of Houstons history. Inside, youll learn about resilience of a burgeoning black community post slavery. This museum pays homage to and seeks to protect what gentrification and excessive development is destroying. However, through the work of the community and volunteers the history of Freedmans Town will hopefully live on to educate future generations.

Enlightening Black History. A must witness.

Tours by appointment have been informative. Assisting with Archaeology Field School Merit Badge Courses for Boy and Girl Scouts has been fun. Volunteering at the historic houses to become museums is great exercise and rewarding. Demonstrating to save the historic brick streets from removal and destruction has been rewarding. Raising funds for legal services, for historic preservation, and for student programs has been challenging. Send donations to: RBHYates Museum, Inc., PO Box 130726, Houston, Texas 77219-0726. Join others in this worthwhile effort.
