about this Museum
The Rosa Parks Museum, located in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, stands on the historic site where Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus. Operated by Troy University, it is the only museum in the United States dedicated solely to Rosa Parks. The museum serves as a living memorial to her legacy and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, featuring artifacts such as her original fingerprint arrest record, a 1950s-era Montgomery city bus, and a restored 1955 station wagon used to transport protesters. Interactive exhibits and educational programs provide insights into the Civil Rights Movement, aiming to honour Parks's legacy and promote positive social change.
