If one is truly interested in the truth of history, this is a must visit. It is a powerful reminder of Virginia's not-so-pleasant historical period of massive resistance to integration.

This museum is an incredibly well done snapshot of Virginia before, during, and after the Brown vs Board of Education battle to integrate, and well worth a stop while you're in Farmville. There's a 15 minute video right at the start that puts you in the school as Barbara Johns staged the student walk out, and a small walkthrough portion explaining what happened in Farmville and Virginia afterward. Take your time to talk with the docent, read the exhibits, and put yourself in the school at that time, and you'll learn a lot.

Exceptional experience. Mr. Thompson was extremely knowledgeable and gave a fantastic tour, highlighting many aspects of our shared history that I hadn’t previously known. It’s a lovely museum in a beautiful little town, and I highly recommend it.

Very informative. Loved the presented material as well as the orator. An important part of history that we all should be knowledgeable.
-
A very well-done museum that offers a walk through this very specific history that created enormous national change. I learned so much in the 1.5 hours I was there. I had the place to myself on a Tuesday afternoon.

Put this on your must see list of Virginia and National history. Not the proudest part of VA history for many perhaps, but one we need to know about. The exhibits are very well done and tell the story of students trying to get what they were promised and winding up being part of something larger. There is triumph and tragedy fairly explained. Absolutely see the film at the beginning and then tour the exhibits. Learn something about the Civil Rights movement you likely did not hear in school.
