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 bills of sale and manumission records for enslaved individuals in the household, 1800s newspapers, 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. Tours begin at 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm, and 2:00 pm at the Nathaniel Crane House & Visitor Center located at the back of the parking lot. No reservations required.
Admission is free this day.
