Wisconsin Black Historical Society/Museum

This started our surprise trip to Wisconsin. The curator was so engaging. He is an excellent storyteller. His knowledge was very much appreciated. Loved the picture. I wanted more!

The curator was very knowledgeable. He gave me a great tour even though I didn’t call ahead to arrange a tour. This place is full of information! I loved the beautiful paintings and pictures. There is a lot of reading so make sure you have some time before you go.

Awesome place for tours and special events. The museum founder is a true historian and this is a hidden jewel u must visit ig u love african culture. Super informative very rare artifacts and a truely special place

Gem in the heart if MKE . Be sure to. Visit on the first day of kwanzaa!!! Dec 26th

Attended a hearing here a couple of weekends ago. It is a gorgeous historic space steeped deeply in the community and it's history. I wasn't able to visit the exhibits, but look forward to revisiting soon!

I've come here many years. So many events and meetings. Most often I'm there for the Nefetari dance group, which practices there regularly. There are also community events. Attended Kwanzaa there, and it was very deep and infectious, I don't think there was anyone who was not feeling the good vibes. The museum display is very small, I would love to see it bigger. A nice community place

great experience, must visit

The Wisconsin Black Historical Society is a highly recommended place to frequent. It is a great cultural and historical learning experience for schools, individuals, or family trips. I've been there a number of times, including the annual Fresh Perspective Urban Heroes Art exhibit.

The founder Mr. Clayborn Benson is very knowledgeable and passionate about Black History. This is definitely a gem nestled in the heart of the community.

Give them a call and schedule a visit or during their regular hours. There is a parking lot in the rear of the building for your convenience. This museum is a cultural gem.

Great community meeting space

Great displays, tons of information and wonderful personal tours by first the daughter of the founder and then the founder himself - Clayborn Benson! Museum is in a poorer area of Milwaukee but we felt very safe.

Very interesting museum and quite a large collection of Wisconsin black history memorabilia. No admission fee. Please leave a donation to help keep this museum going.

Cool spot to learn about history in Milwaukee. Lots of great pictures from the 60's and 70's amidst the civil-rights marches in the city.

It was great! The owners helped us get everything we needed for our event.

Diane Peele was and is very seriously close to me and uncle Clay

This is a great place to learn much history that will not be in your history book. Please donate to help programs through this organization grow!

Great place to have a event.

My first time visiting and I'm definitely going to return 😍 to just soak it all in

It's great to have an organization that focuses on what African Americans have contributed to Wisconsin

I love the fact that there is a place that tells the history of Wisconsin concerning the black culture and history here in Milwaukee

Show coming up on the 17th of February. Definitely gonna check it out
