The Freedom Rides Museum occupies the small, sand-coloured 1951 Greyhound Bus Station where the most violent attack on the 1961 Freedom Riders took place. The street-facing windows still show the building's original art-moderne shopfront design.
Inside, the exhibits tell the story through the riders' own oral histories, mugshots, and donated objects. It is a focused, one-hour visit — but coming here after the Rosa Parks Museum and the Civil Rights Memorial makes the chronology of the early movement click into place.
