There are three separate sites: the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and Freedom Monument Sculpture Park.

The museum features many interactive components, and visitors spend 3-5 hours on average at the museum. Visitors spend 1-2 hours on average at the memorial, and we suggest you plan to spend 1-2 hours at the monument.

When planning a visit with children, we encourage taking into account the estimated time you plan to spend at each site. If you are concerned about preparing children to engage with the subject matter, we recommend reviewing our website and exercising your discretion.

All three sites are located within walking distance of each other in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. It’s a 20-minute walk from the museum to the memorial and a 15- to 20-minute walk from the museum to the monument. Free shuttles run between the three sites every 15 minutes.
