5.0Tuskegee Human &Civil Rights Multicultural Center(13 reviews) - This is an excellent museum that documents the history of the local area and augments the Airman and GW Carver Museums Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
The Tuskegee Civil Rights Center focuses on the Tuskegee Experiment,early american and civil rights era. There is an excellently painted running mural that transitions history from dinosaurs to the reconstruction era. Debra Gray is the museum director and is a very knowledgeable resident of the local area as well. There is a lot of information on the medical experiments and shows the despair of the local resident who were put at risk. The south corner of the museum predominately focuses on civil rights era as it paralleled the south's efforts to end segregation. Definitely worth the efforts to travel out and see. The University is nearby so u can visit the GW Carver, Oaks and Tuskegee Airmen Museums as well. See more..
4.5The Legacy Museum(12 reviews) - Very insightful and interesting Speciality Museums
Tuskegee University's Legacy Museum is a gem! The location may be small but its impact and relevance surely isn't. I was excited to learn about such rich history which has been preserved for over 100 years. I also learned more about the Syphilis Experiment and Ms. Henrietta Lacks. I would recommend The Legacy Museum to everyone as it tells important parts of history I feel everyone should know!See more..
3.5Commodore Museum(7 reviews) - Hidden Gem for Commodore Fans in Tuskegee Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums
The recently opened Commodore Museum in Tuskegee doesn't look like much on the outside, but as your Mom would say, "don't judge a book by its cover." The museum is the former recording studio of the Commodores with all of their recording and stage equipment intact. The owner/curator is a former bodyguard of the band and provides a fascinating walking tour of the museum. "Brick House" and other unforgettable Commodore hits were recorded right here. Interestingly, Kenny Rogers recorded "Lady" here as well, and there is a great video of Kenny and Lionel Richie singing the song which you can tell was recorded on the very spot you're watching the video! The museum also houses numerous Commodore memorabilia including a colorful array of costumes. If you're in the area, don't miss this place!!See more..
