This museum is located 6 miles from city center and overlooks the beautiful skyline of Philadelphia. Here liberated slaves arrived under cover of night arrived despite great danger to find safe haven in the Belmont Mansions attic enroute the freedom. The exhibits were primarily recorded testimonials of slaves reflections during their times living in slavery. The main house focuses more on the abolitionists efforts and the role of the Peters family and the use of their property for the Underground Railroad. I hope the museum will continue to improve w funding for expansion and upkeep. I only wished there were personal tours rather than self guided ones.

At my Neice wedding it was so beautiful

Very interesting place. Come spend an hour. There is no line and lots to learn.

I visited the Museum for a meeting The inside of the venue is very nice. I loved the large windows. I do plan to return to tour the museum.

Very nice restored mansion, lots of informative exhibits. I was especially impacted by the many stories related by people who actually lived through slavery. The staff was also very nice and personable! Theres also a beautiful view of the Philly skyline right outside. You should check it out!

Had babyshower there beautiful room

The first museum that ever made me cry real tears. EVERYONE needs to go here. Check Groupon! Thats where I got a family admission pack, but their regular priced admission is better than reasonable, its a bargain. GO!

This place is authentic and amazing. The best kept secret in Fairmount Park!

We did not schedule a tour (which you definitely should do!!) But they still let us look around since it was our last day in the city. Wheel chair friendly which is rare for historical spaces, and very friendly staff. Also it has an amazing view of the city on hill adjacent.

Love this place very educational and services was well put together.

Very educational and very important for every black child to see where our Roots came from

I visited and it helped me to better relate to what my race endured. Love the historical facts and the list of Israelite inventions.

Must see a beautiful place with great history.

We went today, Saturday. Closed and only open by appointment. Our group was disappointed. Google Maps showed them open today.

Nice place for a staff meeting

Informative guide, warm, friendly staff, lovely spot for a picnic. We learned a great deal and had much to talk about afterward. Child-friendly, but not childish. Very beautiful location.

Don’t go here. They probably aren’t open. They weren’t open at 2:00 on a Thursday even though their phone message and Google entry says they are. We rode 30 minutes on the bus and walked half a mile in the sun in 95 degree weather, only to find the gates closed. Disappointed we wasted half a day of our two days in Philly on this, not to mention the lost opportunity to learn about the Underground Railroad.

Exquisite views of the city - and a great history lesson too. Beautiful architecture, the best of its time that is left for us to appreciate. Worth a visit and donation.

Went there at 3:30p hoping to get experience it while I was visiting Philadelphia and the gates were locked. I went on a day where they were supposed to be open til 5p and when I tried to call no one answered the phone, kept getting voicemail which was full. Me and my friend wasted time and money catching a Lyft out there for nothing. Very disappointing experience and had to request my money back for the Groupon for the visit.

A must go Black History educational experience

Historical importance

Great history from Revolutionary War Era to Anti Slavery beginnings. Great views of the city and surrounding area. Its was special to me to visit the house of my 6th and 5th great grandfathers.

Very nice meeting place, Ill have to go back to look at the whole place and the exhibits

Beautiful view of the Philadelphia skyline presenting an excellent photo op for city visitor --- Combined with an awe filled history lesson!

Went here for an Eventbrite function. Zuvvaa PopUp Shop was an awesome event. Cant wait for the next one.

This is a quaint little museum but you can spend hours here reading various stories. My father and I both learned a lot about slavery and the underground railroad on our visit.

Very good museum where one learns and understands!

This is a great museum and very informative tour guide
