Guided House Tour: Eyewitness to Black History

In-Person. Explore 200 years of Black history in Montclair and New Jersey through rare first-hand accounts, primary and secondary source documents at the Crane House & Historic YWCA. Artifacts include a bill of sale for an enslaved person in the household, an 1800s newspaper, an 1840s New York Knickerbocker magazine, census data, personal letters, oral histories, and mid-century Jet and Ebony magazines. These artifacts provide a springboard for discussion about race both in the past and in the present-day. Facemasks are optional for the interior portions of the tour. Located at the back of the parking lot. No reservations needed.

Tours begin at 12:00pm, 1:00pm, and 2:00pm at the little red Nathaniel Crane House & Visitor Center. Admission is $12/adult; $10/student/senior with ID; $8/child; under 2 free. MHC members are free.
