We visited the three Legacy sites (museum, memorial, sculpture park--in that order) and it is difficult to describe how powerful the experience was. The museum exhibits are incredibly engaging and th…Full review by _SLH138_

I would recommend the museum but not the food. The boat ride was fun but there were too many steps. The sculpture park was moving.Full review by Dianna P
Want to drive up the night before. Is there a list of moderate priced nearby?
A:
I stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn that was right off of I-85 and about a 10 min. ride from the memorial. I would also suggest that you visit the Legacy museum first.
Does the names here show people that were lynched in these different counties and does the number indicate how many died in the counties. Thank you

It is very thorough and there are two opportunities at Lynching Museum to see counties/states and names and in one area reasons for some of the hangings. Example - a woman stole a ham; a man winked at a white woman! Sickening! It is a life altering experience to be made so aware of the KNOWN lynchings.
How long should I plan for the memorial and for the museum? Trying to reserve tickets in advance for several things in one day. Is everything walking distance? Also planning on going to the Dexter Ave King church and pasonage the same day. Hopefully will have time to fit in a couple other sites and memorials..

I spent 4.5hrs. It was closing or Ida stayed another 40min. But I also read every bit of it and did ALL the interactive options and watched ALL the short films I’d def include the memorial site, a 4min drive away, which will likely take you at least another hour. The memorial is more of a place to reflect while strolling.
