International Civil Rights Center & Museum
International Civil Rights Center & Museum is a museum in Greensboro, NC, part of the North Carolina Piedmont guide. Cost: under $25.
134 S Elm St · Greensboro, NC
Why you should go…
The museum fills the former F.W. Woolworth store where four North Carolina A&T students sat down at the segregated lunch counter on February 1, 1960, and refused to leave. It opened exactly 50 years later, and the lunch counter stands in its original L-shaped layout. Visits run as tours, either fully staff-guided or a seated film followed by a self-guided walk through The Battlegrounds galleries. Photography is not allowed in the galleries.
