Have you been to the museum yet? It's received rave reviews.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Troy University’s Rosa Parks Museum has been named one of the top museums in the state of Alabama by Stacker, an online newsroom distributing data-driven journalism to the world’s news organizations.
Located on the University’s Montgomery Campus on the spot of Mrs. Parks’ historic 1955 arrest, the museum opened on Dec. 1, 2000, with the mission of interpreting the story and lasting legacy of Mrs. Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott for future generations. Ray White, Vice Chancellor of TROY’s Montgomery Campus, said the museum annually serves as a popular stop for tour groups and school field trips.
As the nation’s only museum dedicated to Mrs. Parks, the museum collects, preserves and exhibits artifacts connected to the life and lessons of Rosa Parks, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the civil rights movement and provides educational programming and resources for K-12, adult and lifelong learners.
