Fun place to learn more about Durhams history and talk to some very knowledgable ladies and gents. Situated in what was once the bus station the museum is accessible, small but full of facts about a fascinating city and its history. Opposite the Amtrak station and steps from downtown, this was my first stop and I was glad it was. I came out a lot wiser about the Durham of old but with some knowledge of where to visit during my day trip. Fascinating place especially if you love history.

I'm grateful this museum exists. I found because I was looking for resources on the history of Durham. The staff was very friendly. I think the most helpful thing was an electronic timeliness of the city with large pictures.

Really cool mixture of photographs, artifacts and information. I wish there was a way to donate other than cash because I was ready to give but wasn't able to.
