Freedom Rides Museum
National Register Of Historic Places · Montgomery, Alabama
The restored 1951 Greyhound bus station in downtown Montgomery where the Freedom Riders arrived on 20 May 1961 and were beaten by a waiting mob while the police stayed away for a quarter of an hour. It is a small museum in a small Art Moderne building, run by the Alabama Historical Commission, and the building is the exhibit — the waiting room, the ticket counter and the loading bay are where it happened. A vintage Greyhound coach of the period stands outside.
