    Soooo there's honestly nothing here other than a future site. The gate in my picture offers a photo…read moreopp, but other than that, this is an empty lot where a welcome center is eventually planned. Across the street is the Africatown Cemetery, which is an interesting place to meander thru and take in some of the differences in grave sites/resting places. For the record, there is an Africa town Heritage House in town, but it was not open the day that we rolled through here. Their hours are 10 AM to 5 PM Tuesdays through Saturdays.

    Finally got a chance to visit Africatown in Alabama, its been on my list of must places to explore!…read moreMy first stop was the "Heritage House" The Clotilda is the last known slave ship is located here, along with lots of history. It opened its doors in July 8, 2023. There is a reason it opened on this day, you must do your own research to find the answer. I've read several books about Cudjoe (Kazoola) Lewis and the decedents of Africatown. Read the book called the "Barracoon before you visit, this will give you a better understanding. The actual welcome center is being rebuilt. The Heritage House museum will give you some maps and info to visit the other sites in town. Visit the museum, churches, parks and cemetery. There are a few old houses still standing. Enjoy your visit, Im sure we will visit again soon. BTW: Alot of people are not aware that this town exist, education is the key to the truth. Tell your friends, visit and donate if possible. The visitor center is currently under construction, so I shared some of the local sites. @glampedlife

Driver almost backed into a truck THEN backed up TWICE on the side of the interstate and almost into the other bus that was broke down on the side of the road. Packed ALL the passengers into the same bus and drove for almost an hour with three kids to a seat and an aisle full of standing parents... Absolutely ridiculous.

    I wish negative stars was an option. 2 out of the 4 buses for our 4th grad field trip showed up 45…read moreminutes late, then the driver missed our exit and delayed us more when we got off the interstate and had to sit in a parking lot so he could figure out what to do. The TVs didn't work, no A/C, plugs didn't work for chargers. On the way back we broke down on the interstate at which point we found out none of the gauges on the bus worked when we left that morning. Packed 95 people onto another bus in our party and drove an hour like that down the interstate after we were told we would drive 5 miles to a rest area. AC on that bus didn't work either. When we finally got off, there was still no real solution. Some members of our group were put on another bus that was there (already pretty full) still leaving the others without solution. Our school ended up sending a school bus to pick us up. There was no communication or solution given from the charter company.
