Reviews of Negro Southern League Museum

Melissa Moore

A must visit for baseball fans. Great exhibits. Free museum. The gift shop was a disappointing. My husband was looking to purchase an old school Baron's hat or shirt.

Cynthia Pittman

Had an awesome visit with family members from Charleston, S.C.!!! The receptionist was very courteous!!! The facility was fully equipped and comfortable!!! The displays were very impressive!!! Bo Jackson, we love you!!

Yas Smith

We were visiting BHAM and caught wind of their drive by Jackie Robinson celebration so we popped by. It was a great event - we were able to tour the facility as well as see a few of the previous black baron players!

Indigo Chic

I know nothing of baseball, nor do I care for it either. But it was important for me to visit this Museum! Incredibly informative. Especially the part about Jackie Robinson.

Kit Parker

Probably one of the best baseball experiences I've ever had. If you are a historian of baseball, you should visit.

I took my 4 kids here Amazing place !

Jerome McNair

Beautifully constructed museum paying homage to African American history. The volunteers were local college students who were very accommodating.

Tammy Doerner

So much FUN. This is a quiet gem in Birmingham. Great place to take anyone visiting from out of town like we did. I plan to bring my students next year.

Jay Rock

Vital part of Baseball History and should be celebrated by all 👊🏾 …

Drea Stroup

Very interesting and important history to be learned for any American! Very helpful and pleasant employees. Clean atmosphere very well lit and inviting. This was the highlight of my brief trip from Ohio to Florida and back. Thanks to the museum staff and the city of Birmingham!

Debbie Rettig

Please go see African American baseball museum very informative..

Tonio Wynn

Great place to see Birmingham history. A nice hidden gem in Birmingham and it is free.

Alan

An excellent tribute. Well-organized, interesting exhibits. The Satchel Page pitch interactive exhibit was a favorite for my kids. The museum staff was great and showed us special attention that really helped make the experience a great one, especially for the kids. Well done museum covering a unique piece of history.

Traci Nance

Wow!! Went on a tour!! It was very informative!! It was great to find out how the Negro League was formed, the history of it & the great Negro baseball players.

Deontrenese Guin

This is an amazing Museum with a lot of history. The inter activity was a great component; my 3-year-old enjoyed it. Our tour given by the director of the museum was enlighten and fresh. We will definitely be coming back and telling all of our in town and out of town friends and family about this great learning treasure.

Katherine Gandert

Museum was beautifully curated and staff were wonderful. We had the place practically to ourselves and it was free to get in. We all loved it. A beautiful little gem about a piece of American history I knew little about beforehand.

The Museum is a true gem in the city! I was impressed by the kinds of rare artifacts housed there and by the fact that you can visit on a random day and end up meeting one of the former players. The director - Natasha - is warm and welcoming, and is passionate about highlighting the collection and gaining support for the Museum.

Jermecia Johnson -Gaines

I thoroughly enjoyed the museum. As a mother of two boys, you are always searching for ways to educate your children and keep their interest. This place did exactly that. Ms. Natasha demonstrated to my 9 year old how the baseball simulator worked, and he was ecstatic. The museum not only shows a rich history of baseball, but it threads in elements of common interests for everyone.

Gulliver Arkham

Interesting, offen overlooked local small museum that is worth a visit. Across from Railroad Park.

Mashonda Taylor

I have had the opportunity to visit the museum on several occasions in the past few months and loved the facility. The director, Natasha Rogers, was very professional and her team was very helpful. I definitely look forward to attending for future events.

Antoine Bell

The museum is very nice. I gathered some valuable, historical information. It was very well laid out. I enjoyed the walking tour. Parking is difficult. There is not a parking lot, only spaces on the street.

Ron Miller

I took my 2 kids and on that day we had arrived just after a school field trip so there were alot of kids and it's not a large space. Everyone is very nostalgic and helpful but parking is the drawback. Its a business district so we had to walk 5 blocks. Overall wish we could have spent more time learning.

Victor Jordan

All baseball fans should visit this museum. Admission is free. But donate to help support a fantastic/historic baseball history.

Corey Boazman

A great piece of American history that should be supported by all.

Amber Anderson

The facility is centrally located to many attractions that include food, entertainment, and more. I have visited twice this year and the staff is always welcoming, facility is clean, and the collections are instrumental in learning the history of baseball in Alabama. If you are in the area please make plans to visit and introduce yourself to their team. It's also a great place to host an event.

Harrison Beasley III

#Awesome, I think every black person (young & old) should check this out from a heritage standpoint. I will definitely go back and post pictures next time around...

Don Mosely

The significance behind this historical museum speaks for itself alone. My family and I visit often. It is a MUST SEE and a MUST DO while you’re in BIRMINGHAM. My Son loves the interactive batting experience.

Gloria Cook

Had A Great Time Enjoy The Play With My Noma Gregory & Grandkids.

Good information for everyone not just baseball fans. Wish they had a gift shop. I would have bought a postcard at the very least and I always am looking for a good baseball book.

Find out it was closed temporarily when I arrived but the website didn't say it was closed. Better communication and updating the website. So I have not been in the museum yet.

Great experience. A wealth of information about baseball, integration, and unknown history of international proportion. Don't miss this gem nestled on the Southside of Birmingham!
