Yes, This Needs to be on Your Civil Rights History List
My family stopped in Montgomery on our way from Charlotte to NOLA for vacation, we only planned to do a few things in the city and originally this was not one of them. We decided to stay longer in Montgomery and visit this museum. You first go to the visitor center and watch a short film, then you are taken by a guide to the parsonage next door. The history behind this house is amazing and you can feel it while in the house. Much of the furnishings are original, down to MLK's coffee pot. If you like history and particularly civil rights history, you need to stop by here!

A time capsule of the house used by Dr. King and his family.
This is the home provided to Dr. King while he was the pastor of the Dexter Avenue church. It is located a short drive from the downtown. No photos allowed inside. Your tour begins with a video and then a tour of the actual house. It was interesting to see the inside which had been kept as it was in the late 50s. You can see the damage caused by the bombing during the days of the bus boycott. There is a small gift shop inside. Run by volunteers, some of whom have family members with close ties to Dr. King.
