Freedom House Museum

Freedom House Museum

Operated by the Northern Virginia Urban League and located in the former headquarters the largest domestic slave trading company in the country, the Freedom House Museum preserves the story of thousands of men, women and children who passed through these walls on a harrowing journey to lives of bondage and hard labor in the Deep South to enrich slave traders and slave holders.

The location was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The property that once held slaves captive now serves to emancipate, educate, and enlighten their descendants through exhibitions, tours and outreach.
