Freedom Center offers free admission on fifth and third Sundays each month

Museums have the power to shape and reflect their communities, making organizations like the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center community anchors and conveners of dialogue. They provide insight and perspective into our shared history, providing lessons from the past that are priceless in our ongoing quest for equity. Further, the Freedom Center creates a collective heritage, a more complete history that unites our local and national community. Access to the Freedom Center and its galleries equips a new generation of freedom seekers and advocates with the education and resources needed to make positive personal and collective impact.

That’s why the Freedom Center, with the support of the Fifth Third Foundation, created Fifth Third Community Days – free admission on the fifth and third Sunday each month, plus MLK Day and Juneteenth, through 2026. The free admission includes special exhibitions and community programming that enhances the visit. 

“Our Fifth Third Community Days are transformative for our community,” said Woodrow Keown, Jr., president and COO of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. “Fifth Third Foundation’s support provides opportunities for more people to learn about freedom through an immersive experience at the Freedom Center. In the process, we can create more advocates for equity and bring about meaningful social justice change by inspiring future generations of freedom seekers.”

Upcoming Fifth Third Community Days include October 16 & 30, November 20 and December 18.
