Join us every Saturday for FREE guided tours of the Surratt House Museum! The Surratt House Museum offers more than just a glimpse into the past — it’s a space for meaningful reflection on the legacy of enslavement and the ongoing struggle for racial justice. Through guided tours and powerful storytelling, visitors are invited to engage with history in a way that inspires awareness, understanding, and a commitment to a more just future.

Let’s take a trip around the world! Celebrate cultures and people from across the globe by exploring a variety of traditions and how they are preserved. Each month will feature a different heritage community, children’s book, and applicable craft.

In celebration of Pride Month, the Surratt House Museum will present “Sexuality and the Civil War.” This talk with Dr. Matt Champagne will show how our cultural understandings of gender and sexuality changed during this pivotal time in US history. Additionally, Champagne’s presentation will highlight queer individuals who participated in the Civil War and share other interesting, lesser-known information.
