The Dubois Centre for Panafrican Culture is a fine destination for those who appreciate history. W.E.B. Dubois was an important figure in African history having a large role in the Africana Encyclopedia for example. He was also the first black man to obtain a PhD from Harvard. The museum tour is guided and guests are shown various rooms in the home including his library which contains over 1,500 books, and his bedroom in which is displayed a gift from communist China, a letter from Lenin, and his academic dress from Harvard. The grounds are quite nice and we'll manicured. The mausoleum containing Dr Dubois is particularly well maintained. The museum is not large but offers insights into Dr Dubois' life. There is also a rather nice restaurant on the grounds which offers a good selection of menu items. The Roots Fave pizza is very good.

The Green Butterfly Community Market was amazing. Great food, great products such necklaces, rings made from recylable materials, arts and crafts. The event is held every 1st Saturday of the month The W.E.B. Du Bois Memorial

The Centre is a complex of four major buildings which include the home where Dr. DuBois spent his last years, an Administrative building, the Marcus Garvey Guest House (simple rooms from $40 / Bed & Breakfast as at 2021) and the tomb of Dr. DuBois and his dear wife Shirley Graham DuBois. It's best to go on weekends after 10am where you can find some goods market with a wide range of things being sold, from African clothing, musical instruments, food, artifacts, Shea butter and many more.

The W.E.B Center is a MUST VISIT on your trip to Accra. Du Bois has contributed to so much of our history. This is my second time doing a tour and I love how they are conducted and that the museum is in the home he lived in. You get to walk into each room and see original items that were used my Du Bois. The Center also houses a library where you can sit and read from over 1,000 books! absolutely recommend. -Christina Jane, Travel Lifestyle Blogger: beingchristinajane.com

The Dubois Centre is a living and vital memorial to a great man who valued and took pride in his African heritage and wanted other Africans and the world to understand and value African culture and heritage. It's a tremendous research and conference resource. Worth visiting.

A friend had his wedding there quiet recently and the place is nice. Spacious ball rooms. Big car park, neat washrooms and also the Air-conditioning works perfectly. They have enough trees there which provides shade. We really enjoyed the place. I was there as the emcee and I will recommend the place to others. Good job to the management of the place.

This place holds more than I can grasp at once. It's a memorial centre as well as a cultural hub that also serves as a museum. One can buy a whole lots of local cultural items including art pieces. Halls for events and marriage ceremony and places for films and actor's guilds... Roots restaurant is situated here too. Massive compound and parking lots...

Loved the environment. Great place for a school trip and outdoor events.

A small but INFO-LOADED site. It feels great to walk through the final residence Dr. and Mrs. DuBois. Reading some of his many manuscripts, notes, speeches and other documents is a strong experience. If you are a bookaholic, you will savor the opportunity to thumb through DuBois personal collection. I cannot believe that I actually held jis copy of Soul of Black Folks. BTW, Abigail is an excellent on-site tour guide.

Beautiful and historic place. You'll learn a good deal of who and what Dubois was all about and his relationship with Dr. Nkrumah and Ghana as a whole.

Fabulous artisan market on Saturdays, well worth a visit amazing number of good quality artists stalls at reasonable prices. Relaxed atmosphere to look and try things on. Deals for multiple purchases and good street food stalls, drinks and fresh vegetables. I'd would highly recommend a visit to this for Art & craft purchases- western UK prices but that's fair trade price for skills in making

Year of Return for Africans of the Diaspora. You MUST visit the DuBois Centre. BUT it is not open on Sunday no matter what Google says. Lol. I knew better but went anyway. I took a picture of the hours of operation and other info...but this could change too...

Nice environment, event Centre. Place of historical learning

Has a good tourist attraction scenes

Great place for an outdoor wedding.

A historic place

It was great

This is a cool rich panAfrican centre (loaded with some history) and great rooms for reception and such

Great market to get all essentials on the first Saturday of every month. Great food and good vendors in rotation.

I was impressed by the well persevered library and home. It was an added bonus to see a picture of Dr. John Henrik Clarke hanging in the home.

Great restaurant they have.. And a nice place for event.. Like wedding, party and a whole lot.. Very open and large compound they got..

Beautiful place

Well preserved tourist site which presents the beauty of some of the earth's natural resources

Provides a telescopic view of the historic town of Cape Coast. A blend of the old settlement and the new township giving a kaleidoscopic view

Great site

Needs to be enhanced for tourism attractions. Great potential just like Edinburgh Castle

Be careful! Wee were warned by the locals that the place is occupied by homeless and criminals so it’s not safe to go there.

It's a good environment with good people

Historic

Love it

The atmosphere is very conducive and natural

Lovely place. The Saturday markets on the last Saturday of the month are always epic. Check it out ?

It's a fine location

Memories

Cool

Inspirational Pathfinder.

It's the place to be

Good

Ok

In this cultural center, the first Saturday of every month they make a market of craftsmen, very interesting for all foreigners, good food and a nice place to spend that Saturday with family or friends .

Nice place where sometimes craft market is happening there.

This is the resting place of one of the greatest thinkers of 20th century.... If you're coming here, you know why you're coming here. A truly enriching experience.

Great wee market of allsorts.. alot under cover or canopies so great all round. Will be back .

Good and relaxing

Bringing the past back to life

W.E.B Du Bois centre has a basic and decent environment. The car park needs some tightening

Is a very nice place

The W.E.B Dubois Center is a Pan Africanist joy that brings to light the breadth of Dubois work and global reach. In addition, it opens up the inspiration of Dubois and Garvey in Pres. Nkrumah's life. Dont forget to visit the shops at the end and the African American Associstion of Ghana's spot in the rear. A must visit in Accra.

Eco friendly

It's a love place for tourist

Spacious Car Park. Frequent locally produced bazaars. Support local craft and great ambiance.

We went on the King Holiday which was great. It was awesome to see where Dr. Dubois lived in Ghana. He is also buried here.

Historic heritage

So amazing

Good for events

I saw history come to life.

(Translated by Google) This museum dedicated to an American who greatly influenced the culture in Ghana is very well preserved and the guide is really interesting. (Original) Ce musée consacré à un américain qui a influencé grandement la culture au Ghana est très bien conservé et le guide vraiment intéressant.

Nice

Not bad a place to hold public gatherings but not too spacious to contain a large crowd

Africa's historical palace

😁😁 very educational

Constructed in 1821 on the site of a ruined fort built in 1712, Fort Victoria was formerly known as ‘Phipp’s Tower’, in honour of its initial constructor English Governor Phipps. It was later renamed Fort Victoria after Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

Interesting place to see

Awesome place

Historic site

It's a cool place.

The location on google maps is wrong. You can find it by asking the locals. But it is an abandoned place and unsafe to visit. I just admired it from a distance ( there are certain vantage points in Cape Coast you can see the fort from). Visited Fort William instead where there’s a resident and hence much safer.

Abandonded Fort (just like Fort Williams), get a guide or driver to take you there. Stunning view of Cape Coast.

The place could use a little bit of painting especially for the Panafest but it's a place of great history

It's a historic monument

Not much to say. Just visit there already!

Nice Environment

Nice place

nice

This is a historical site for tourism which is under the management of Ghana Museums and Monument Board

A history place

Used during independence day and other church and national programs

Cool place to hang out in a group; but beware of robbers

Outstanding

Nice update

Average

Beautiful

A place that helps revitalise the children of God.. I love my church

Place for tourism

Historical site

Because of the assistance of Google map, the journey was with ease thanks to this app. I request it for every individual travelling to an unknown location.

This center is located on the house where W.E.B. Du Bois lived while in Accra. It has an exhibition of his work here and towards Pan African Culture. Unfortunately the center needs a lot of work. There is a free tour guide on site, which will help you understand better the role that Dr. Du Bois played in Ghana. If you want to get the most out of this site, read something about Dr. Bu Bois before going there, otherwise you will not really enjoy the visit.

I want to post more photos. But some things you'll have to go and see for yourself. Well worth it. A definite must-see when in Accra.

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was an African-American civil rights activist who became a citizen of Ghana in the 1960s. He was known as the ‘Father of Pan-Africanism’ Ghana Tourism Authority as part of their Emancipation commemoration each year will lay wreaths at the historical sites of 3 great members of the Pan African movement in Ghana, namely, W.E.B. DuBois, George Padmore, and Kwame Nkrumah. This year, their marking Emancipation under the theme, "Our Heritage, Our Strength" - Re-Engaging To Consolidate Our Developmental Agenda This year there will be Wreath-laying ceremonies only at George Padmore Library and W.E.B. Du Bois Centre to emphasize the resilience of the Africans on both sides of the Atlantic. (NB: Kwame Nkrumah park is excluded due to ongoing renovation works). As usual, Atenteben players from the National Theatre will perform at the George Padmore Library, Du Bois Centre respectively. The National Symphony Orchestra and the Ghana Dance Ensemble will perform at the Du Bois Centre. The dress code is funeral dark. . #Emancipation2022 #ExperienceGhana #ShareGhana #selormxplore #explorepage #explorewithabena C:C @ghanatourismauthority

This place is super cool! It's an educational experience filled with history and accomplishments.

The WEB Dubois Center is a historic house museum well worth the visit. I appreciate the thorough, enlightening tour of the home and burial site of this important, repatriated African-American educator, civil rights activist, writer/editor and Rhodes Scholar, Fisk and Harvard University graduate William Edward Burghardt DuBois and notable activist Shirley Graham DuBois, his 2nd wife. It houses unique items belonging to the DuBoises including reference materials of the Encyclopedia Africana and serves as a research library. The Centre is an authentic must-see for those interested in learning the global impact of the Pan-Africanist giant.

Very educative and relaxing.

He did indeed die stating that not enough was done. This place encapsulates his dying declaration.

Nice environment

Busy

Cool

Very beautiful and spacious place for events

Handicraft

Great atmosphere to have an outdoor picnic.

⭐

Love it

Full of great inspiration ,educative true values of good great Friendship and I love this man's character

Great shows

I love the place

It is the home of freemasonry

It's an interesting place to be for those who love history.

I world encourage anyone that has not visited to go!! It is a piece of History!!

Great for events. Green scenery and a lot of space

Nice event place

Very serene

Seren Environment for occasion

Lovely place to hold events

Good.

Serene and cozy

Great place to stop by for one of the Saturday markets. Tons of booths to have a delicious meal, pick up some art and some fabric. Well worth the visit!

It's a place for exhibition and event centre. For weddings and other events like funerals

Lovely display of artifacts

I don't like the landscape work.

The centre is quite limited in terms of artifacts, plus its Du Bois' house is quite rundown but what does remain - particularly the libraries - alongside the very informative tour, is very thought provoking, although a little sad on reflection of those lost hopes and aspirations of African independence and Pan-Africanism - crushed by neo-liberal globalisation.

This is very great historical centre and legacy. Nice to be here on PANAFEST Emancipation

A place for a truly unique cultural experience. Beautifully handcrafted items and bright batik & kente designer wear, make it a shoppers' paradise. Must visit !

The tour guide we had was excellent. What an experience. A must visit for me. There are a few house keeping and presentation issues else I would have score it a five star

Amazing. A must see place when u visit Ghana 🇬🇭 🙌🏾 😊 meda se ancestors for all of your sacrifices! Because of you, I can! Ase'o

This environment is beautiful. Lots of trees and flowers

We love this market. Beautiful gifts, lovely location, food and kind vendors.

What an honor to be about to tour our national heroes house before he passed. Seeing original furniture and documents was special. Loved learning new things about this phenomenal man. Tour guide was great

A great place for events and activities and also to get to buy purely African products. Great place to visit 👌

Indifférent staffs... They don't really engage with you. Regardless, I loved Dubois mind and intellect. Although he conflicted with master Garvey, he ended up in the motherland. Will visit again... Not to talk with the people there... Just pay my respect to this great son of Africa.

A siren environment, with spacious car park if there are no events happening there. A restaurant & bar can be located there and a big hall for your big event is available. Easy to locate. A place to learn more about the Black history

The center was very educational . There were many photos of Mr. Dubois , books that that he wrote as well as read. The guide informed us of his life in the U..S. of A & Ghsna . There were personal pictures of Dubois family life , personal items , world leaders that he knew , in particular , President Kwame Nkrumah and his personal artifacts , collegiate paraphernalia, etc.,

I went to the Roots Flavour Restaurant. Serene atmosphere,good for reunions and meet ups. It also has the Sugar n Spice,a cakeshop.

Well for me i love visiting the Du bois center, it has allot of history to learn from a great man who lived there is his last years accompanied with his wife, William Du Bois campaigned for African-American rights and was often referred to as the ‘Father of Pan-Africanism. Around the main museum there is a large gardens space where they organize each end of the month an African market bazar.

Very nice place for hosting your event such as Weddings, parties, corporate events, conference's and many more

The experience was everything. Definitely a “must do” when you visit Ghana! The Center is very well ran, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The Center does have a gift shop, but we also noticed tents set up outside with vendors selling various items. I’m very happy we took time to go.

A good place of you want to know more about modern Pan Africanism and WEB Dubois' contribution to Pan-Africanism. Just contact me on WhatsApp +233266574390 let me take you on a breathtaking heritage of Accra and central region (Cape Coast & Elmina & Assin-Manso)

Excellent and Professional guide! Grace, our tour guide presented all aspects of the Home of W.E.B. DUBOIS with indepth knowledge and accuracy. His academic and global influences awakened the connectivity of our world and our need to reach out and help each other.

We enjoyed the rich history associated with the center especially the contribution of Du Bois to the emancipation of the African. The staff are courteous and educative to make your visit a memorable one. Looking forward to your verdict after you have visited there

Didn't go there on a visit. A 3-day Book of Condolences was opened for Prof. Ama Ataa Aidoo and I went there with my school mates - Wesley Girls High School. The compound was in a bad shape; discarded furniture littered the place - not a good site for visitors at all. Not impressed!

Serene atmosphere. We used the premises for an upcycling art exhibition. Very well curated by the Foundation for Comtemporary Arts (FCA)

An event is starting at 1.00 p.m., they turn the AC on at 12.54 p.m. washrooms still not opened to guests. This is horrible lift your service
