Alex Haley Museum and Interpretive Center - Historical place museum in Henning - 200 Church St, USA

A wonderful experience due mostly in part to the Site Manager Mr. Richard Griffin. He was personable, knowledgeable and humorous! My mother and I visited on a Monday afternoon. We drove from Medina, TN and it was well worth the trip! I highly recommend you pay a visit!

Nicely set up museum. Worth a visit if you are in the area and looking for some good insight on Alex Haley.

Learned a lot about Haley’s early formative years and what led to the writing of the book Roots. Great tour! The house has many family photos and is period correct with items that the Parker family would have used. The house sits in the neighborhood where towns people drive and there are different informational markers around the house. His parents first courted here and eventually married. It is also the burial site for Alex. The entrance and interpretive center is behind the house.

Now that's a trip worth visiting. Alex Haley Museum was always on our bucket list and we finally made a trip to experience and explore this amazing place. There is nothing that comes close to how well it is managed, the professionalism and friendliness of the staff and the quality of knowledge gained. The house is very well preserved with all original items. I must admit it is well worth the visit when you are in this area. People from all over the united states and other parts of the world have visited this museum. Side note: you must watch roots and roots the next generation to understand further and how Alex traced his roots all the way to Gambia, Africa and how the Old African Kunta Kinte who was captured and sold as a slave into the USA. Kunta Kinte was one of Haley's ancestors, a Gambian Muslim man who was born in 1750, enslaved, and taken to America where he died in 1822. There is no picture which can truly describe the real experience. Must Visit, Highly Recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unfortunately did not have time to visit. Museum, but definitely worth a visit to a place of super importance yo history.

This is my second visit. I absolutely love to come here. My grandmother and mother used to visit everytime they were close and I feel almost like I'm walking in there footsteps when I visit. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It's a different experience and it really puts life into perspective. I highly recommend a visit here.

I called to get admission prices and know the days their open. It was closed but the phone recording made everything very clear. I'm planning a trip there soon.

I love Alex Haley. Didn't get to go inside, but it felt good being able to see the house he grew up in and his burial site.
