Destination Westport: Black History
Step back in time and discover the powerful, untold stories of Westport’s African American community! Join us for a guided walking tour through downtown Westport, based on the Museum’s award-winning exhibit Remembered: The History of African Americans in Westport.
Westport Museum’s Staff will share the stories of soldiers, sailors, activists, artists, and respected citizens whose legacies are woven into the fabric of this town. Visit historic sites and buildings, some still standing, others long gone. Explore this rich history firsthand and follow along with our Remembered virtual exhibit available online.
The tour will meet at the Westport Museum’s brick walk along Myrtle Avenue. Expect 1-2 miles of sidewalk walking, so please bring water and wear suitable outdoor attire. Tickets are $10 for Museum members and $15 for nonmembers. Reservations are required, and space is limited to just 25 participants per tour. Don’t miss your chance — register online today before tickets sell out!
Tickets are nonrefundable, but if you can’t make it, we’ll consider your purchase a donation and provide a donation receipt. If the tour is sold out or if you’re interested in a private tour, email us at [email protected].
