Great woman. Underwhelming display. Not worth going out of your way to see. A tired display in a tired town. Indeed, it is not easy to find driving into town. That said, something is better than… Full review by W8440GRjohnb

I spent several hours in this museum a few months ago. I don't know, specifically, why the museum isn't open on Sundays. But, since many in the African-American community are deeply committed Christians (as was Harriet), it wouldn't surprise me that they attend Christian worship services, paying attention to the Creator & Liberator for at least one day of the week; rather than a non-specific, human-oriented, "spiritual" encounter with Harriet's memory.
