Visiting > Tourist Info

The North American Black Historical Museum has a location which is not just historically fitting. It's also presently terrific! Everyone finds something that suits!

Amherstburg and its surrounding area have a wealth of resources and attractions for tourists to enjoy. The town stretches along the shore of the Detroit River as it curves out to open Lake Erie, one of the famous Great Lakes of North America.

In town, tourists can find an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops and historic sites including the Museum! Enjoy a summer festival or a winter retreat at an inn or a bed and breakfast. A short venture away, other lakeside towns, world-class wineries, nature spots, and islands with ferry boats are all ready to explore. Plus, Windsor and Detroit are near too, with their major city appeal.

For more things to do on your Museum visit see in our site the History and Culture in Essex County and a map to help plan your visit to the Underground Railroad Sites in Ontario. Staff at the Museum can suggest ideas too. For more information in planning to add to your Museum visit, check these official sites.
