This 16th-century trading lodge now contains the Museum of West African History.

Very educational tour. A place that you should visit if you go to Ghana. The building is not special, but the atrocities should not be forgotten.
2. W.E.B. DuBois Center

This is the home, library and final resting place of American-born crusader for social justice, William Edward Burghardt DuBois.

Definitely worth visiting if interested in learning something new. This is the home of W.E.B. DuBois at which he lived until his death in 1963. It is now a museum and his burial site. Lots to see- library, burial site, photos, information on prominent black political figures, personal items, graduation gowns and paintings. You can also walk around the grounds. Personal tour given on request. Kingsley was excellent. Fee for entrance and tour is 7 Cedis. Worth checking out the Diaspora African Forum just behind. Informative tour of the exterior given by Clement. Nice way to spend a few hours.

A small museum dedicated to the country's founding father.
Reviewed By MarshallB429 - Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
Very interesting, important history, with knowledgeable guides, this memorial park is more of a small museum than a park. Plan two hours. Learn and understand. It’s quite moving when one learns about the bravery and resourcefulness of pan-African leadership in the middle of last century. Onward and upward.... always forward.

I'm confused at some of the other reviews here. I visited alone in February 2020 and it is one of the highlights of my Ghana trip. For 10 cedis I had a one on one tour of the entire building from a friendly and knowledgeable guide. (I think his name was Amos). He explained the history of the fort as both a prison and previously as a slavers fort. Going into the small cells and having him explain the manner in which large numbers of prisoners or slaves were chained up was harrowing and visiting the execution room was quite an experience. Just across the road is Salaga market which used to be a slavers market which added another element. I visited Osu castle the day after and whilst good, much preferred Ussher fort for it's ghostly intimate feel and raw details. Would highly reccomend.
