The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia is both a real place and a virtual site. The actual museum is located on the campus of Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. Dr. John Thorp, Social Sciences division head, schedules all tours. He can be contacted at (231) 591-5873, or at thorpj@ferris.edu. We recognize that some people are unable to visit the Jim Crow Museum; therefore, we have created this brief virtual tour of the museum.
