African American Museum - This artistic director and writer/director are working on a community event/project. #MIHAD - Museums Near Me - Monroe, Louisiana

I just drove over an hour to get to this museum because I bought a ticket online (it's by online appt only) and found the door locked and closed. I called them and the person on the phone wasn't even nice or sympathetic to my situation. They're refunding my ticket, but what about gas money, my time, and the fact that this is my only off day all week and I just wasted two hours driving to a closed door. read more

The only reason this museum didn't receive 5 stars is a couple things: 1) Hard to find 2) Contents inside You turn off Millhaven to go toward Chennault Park but it you miss the sign for the museum on the right, you won't find it. It follows after a small winding road and then you're there. It has plenty of parking, though! It is a smaller museum so it won't have as much to see as others, but it is absolutely necessary in this community to capture the African-American heritage of not just the Twin Cities but also the country. You are guaranteed to learn pieces of history that you might never have known before and, for that, this museum rocks! COME ON IN! read more

The Northeast Louisiana Delta African Heritage Museum is a beautiful tribute to African American culture, history and art. Its goal is to preserve, promote, and provide educational programs to enhance cultural awareness of African American heritage in the area and around our state and nation. The museum has a particular focus on art and promoting local artists. The fact that it is "off the beaten trail" makes it even more appealing with its winding road, surrounding trees and beautiful foliage. The breath-taking artworks of Don Cincone, Daryl Triplett, Bernard Menyweather and others can be viewed as well as many household artifacts from our past. I would highly recommend support of this Museum by buying a membership, sponsorship and by participating in activities that promote greater awareness of the rich African American heritage. read more
