Reviews of John Freeman Walls Historic Site (Museum)

Better late than never. I've lived in the area for close to 30 years and have driven by the John Freeman Walls Historic Site many times, always saying that I would drop in for a tour one day. Well, I finally made along with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. We had the please of meeting the founder of the museum Dr. Bryan Walls along with two young family members who were our tour guide. If we don't seek to know our history we are susceptible to repeat it. In encourage you not to wait as long I did to find out not only some local history but the very essence of what it was like to be a black slave in days past. The museum would be grateful for presence as well as any contribution you might offer to keep this valuable piece of history alive and well for generations to come. God bless you.

Brian and Ana were the most gracious tour guides. Even though I had come before they officially opened, they gave me a full tour of the area because I was from out of town. They blend the history of the Underground Railroad, their personal history (they are descendants of escaped slaves), and the history of the MLK civil rights movement beautifully. With a positive focus on freedom and partnership, this site is must.

I wish it had been opened. It looks like it has been closed for awhile.

When I was in high school I was one of many students that help with the building and maintenance and learning from my teachers, Winston and Allen Walls about the history behind it all will always be forever my happiest memories with knowing I learned from John Freeman Walls descendants that they keep that history alive to teach generations to come ,,,a must place to visit, you won't be disappointed.

Great tour, inexpensive, and an important part of Canada's history. Really enjoyed our visit! The whole tour took about 1.5 hours.

Dr. Walls is a very interesting man. He is very intelligent and shared a wealth of knowledge. His ancestor is the original settler of the property. We wish Canada would contribute to the restoration of this amazing historical site.

Something every Original person needs to see to relive our history since it has been stolen from us and demanded that we forget it. Know not where you've come from, know not where you'll go!!!!! I would take that trip every year if I could.

I have taken several groups to this amazing Museum.

A poignant reminder of the slaves' journey to freedom. Bryan Walls and his three students help us venture back in time by leading us on a "journey" through the woods, describing the terrifying escape to Canada. A must see, or rather "experience," for all ages. Purchased Dr Walls' book, "The Road That Led to Somewhere," a true story of his ancestors journey via the underground railroad.
