The staff were friendly, inviting and knowledgeable. I felt like I was going on a journey in someone elses shoes for once and saw the way the world was in Milwaukee. It was so nice to see the exhibits and be able to ask my burning questions about my hometown. Ive gained valuable perspective and I will come back to volunteer!

The Wisconsin Black Historical Society is a highly recommended place to frequent. It is a great cultural and historical learning experience for schools, individuals, or family trips. Ive been there a number of times, including the annual Fresh Perspective Urban Heroes Art exhibit.The founder Mr. Clayborn Benson is very knowledgeable and passionate about Black History. This is definitely a gem nestled in the heart of the community.Give them a call and schedule a visit or during their regular hours. There is a parking lot in the rear of the building for your convenience. This museum is a cultural gem.

Ive come here many years. So many events and meetings. Most often Im there for the Nefetari dance group, which practices there regularly. There are also community events. Attended Kwanzaa there, and it was very deep and infectious, I dont think there was anyone who was not feeling the good vibes. The museum display is very small, I would love to see it bigger. A nice community place

This organization needs a lot more donations & sponsorship. Lots of info there & is very interesting. More money for upkeep and a remodel is needed so Black American history in Milwaukee can be told properly.

Great displays, tons of information and wonderful personal tours by first the daughter of the founder and then the founder himself - Clayborn Benson! Museum is in a poorer area of Milwaukee but we felt very safe.
