Great historical site to learn about the numerous Forts n Castles in Ghana.From the days of trade, salvery been a police station and also served as a prison. Entrance Fees: 10ghs Ghanaians 50ghs Non Ghanaians

Good historical site with a local guide available to tell you all about the role of the Fort in the slave trade and later as first police station and prison of Accra. There’s a door of no return as well there Cost was 50ghs with the guided tour for adult non Ghanaian citizen

Before Covid, there was an annual street art Festival called CharlieWote. Which literally translates, Charlie, let’s go

Historical Dutch Fort converted into prison for decades. Now heritage site opened to tourist with antiques, chains and shackles used on slaves and many more to discover here.

This is a good place to learn about history, this edifice holds alot of stories about slavery, the prison service during the era of colonialism down to being a place of shelter for displaced persons from other countries at some point. Ashley Joseph our tour guide was super helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the place and he made the tour a really enjoyable one. The government could do more to make sure that the structure is preserved without it further looking dilapidated. There’s a balcony that people can stay on and catch a glimpse of Osu castle off in the distance…and enjoy the sight of boats and fishermen doing their thing in the water overlooking the balcony.

Great history, Great 😊 Culture of the people in the community. We enjoyed every part of the community tour and also the Art festival made it awesome 🤩. For the best city tour you need knowledgeable and experienced Tour Guide like Mr Noisty on +233 558712206.

Good place to remember slavery history. The guide that attended my tour was very nice and patient (I arrived just before closure but still did the whole tour visit with me). Fee for foreigners is 10ghc

A place of great history, and painful stories, It’s sad that’s unkept. It’s worth visiting. Tour guide was great 👍🏾

Recently opened to the public for tourism. I went there after chalewote 2021. You can still find some artworks hanging there Unfortunately I didn’t meet a guide when I got there and there is no contact info. I did my own exploring and it looked really interesting. I look forward to a guided tour there

If u want to experience a real third world prison, u have come to the right place. The guide is very professionally, pls tip

Historic and interesting to see and learn about the past. Never again should this kind of treatment of mankind repeat itself in history - slave trade.

Not much to see inside. Always interesting to look at.

Was a nice experience and I learnt a lot of new things about the past.

Great place for African American to visit in Ghana

Currently under renovation. Has potential as a tourism attraction. No opening date for this place. The former wall to the left of the enterence is reasonably intact.

The tour was interesting, about 20-30 minutes, 10 cedis. Interesting to see remnants of its use as slave fort, prison and refugee camp.

Ussher Fort is a fort in Accra, Ghana. It was built by the Dutch in 1649 as Fort Crèvecœur, and is a day's march from Elmina and to the east of Accra on a rocky point between two lagoons. It was one of three forts that Europeans built in the region during the middle of the 17th century.

Located near Rawlings park , Accra , Railings park is well known and popular place located at the Makola market in the Greater Accra region, Ghana. u can get other economic activities like buying and selling. Also, You can get a variety of products ranging from consumable goods, electronics and accessories and almost all products you may need In a market.

Not enough artefacts. Museum can be much better run and improved in term of presentation. Items on display do show a rich history, nonetheless.

Several service points in terms of what to buy and observe

Usher fort remains one of the fast deteriorating Forts in the Greater Accra Region. It was used as a prison until the government realised that the rate of deterioration posed danger to the inmates.

Historical place but left to rot .Good sea breeze.

A wonderful fort was shaken by earthquake though certain structures are weak you will see and experience more of slave trade ideologies when you enter the museum/ gallery of the fort.you could still see the cell Nkrumah was locked and some writings and schematic drawings of slaves on the building which told stories several centuries ago.

An abandon historical site that is currently used for Art events and tours.

Historic preservation

Interesting place with interesting history

I had a feel of stories I have heard

Very good place in Ghana history find the place in kumasi closer to kuamsi zoo ask people to guide you to the place .

The Armed Forces Museum is a military history museum located in Kumasi, Ghana. It was established in 1953. The Kumasi Fort and Military Museum is one of few military museums in Africa. It is located in the Uaddara Barracks in Kumasi, the capital city of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The Prempeh Museum, Kumasi Cultural Centre, Kumasi Zoo and Kumasi Central market are all within walking distance of the fort. The Kumasi Fort was built in 1820 by the Asantehene (the King of the Asante Kingdom), Osei Tutu Kwamina, to resemble the coastal forts which were built by European merchants. Kumasi Fort had to be rebuilt in 1897, after it was destroyed by British forces in 1874. The fort was built from granite and brown soil that was brought from Cape Coast to Kumasi by porters. In March 1900, during the Asante Rebellion, the fort was encircled, and 29 Britons were trapped inside for several weeks. The leader of this rebellion was the Queen Mother of Ejisu, Ohemaa Yaa Asantewaa. After a brief period of imprisonment in the fort, she was forced into exile in the Seychelles, where she died. From 1952 to 1953, after the Second World War, the Armed Forces of the British Colonial Government took over the fort and converted it into a museum. Exhibits include: military equipment, artefacts and other objects used in the British-Asante war of 1990 and during the Second World War. The collection includes weapons of war, colours, medals, armoured cars, anti-aircraft guns, photographs and portraits. This serves as a valuable historical institution for tracing the evolution and development of the Gold Coast Regiment of the colonial era, to the present-day Ghana Armed Forces. There is a British Military Cemetery just about 200m northwest of the Kumasi Fort and Military Museum, which contains graves of British casualties of the Yaa Asantewaa War. The Kumasi Fort and Military Museum is open daily from 8:00am to 5:00pm, except on Sundays and public holidays.

A very interesting place to learn about Ghana's military history

It is opposite to Vodafone HQ of kumasi and it's right side is African wares and drums are being sold

Fort is very deteriorated. One man met us and showed us around but there is no signage. We were the only people there. We walked around ourselves and enjoyed a beautiful view from the top of the fort. Too bad govt has not spent more to make this very accessible spot more welcoming and interesting.

A great historical place but lack of good management. It helps me to know more about slave and slaves masters.

Chalewote is always fun around here

Lots of history at the chale wote festival

Great Place with historical facts and value.Was fun with the tour guide 10cedi per foreign individual

A great place to learn about slavery.... Prices are very moderate buh few tour guides .

The cultural and art works

When you visit the place you can see old things

Really good

Be We'll #fort

Great place to check out

Good historical site. There's no tourist guide so prepare to get someone to take u around for a fee. Place needs to be maintained though

History... Epic history

It's an accient town in Accra

A nice place to be

Nice place to discover w Our history about slavery. Good place for an art exhibition

Its extremely colorful and beautiful

Very historic

Historical site

The place look historical

Awesome view

Cos its history

It was intense to see how human beings were or are treated, freedom absolutely taken away from them

Just passed through during the Charle Wore festival. There is a lot of potential in there

A nice place to visit

Beautiful heritage display

It was fun

Educative

Very historical

A Cool and fun place to be

Poor setup in relation to tourism

It's all about history

Nice area

Main hall under renovation for a few more months. Was shown to a room with photos of key buildings in Accra and around the country. Polite staff. Some statues in the lawn but description so a bit hard to understand. Still worth a visit.

it's spacious and in the central business center

Contact Godsway Archimedes in case you want visit any tour sites in Ghana...+233558798297..Afadjato,wli falls,Tagbo falls,Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary... And many more...I was once Afadjato tour guide@ENQUIRY ECO TOUR via Facebook....send your questions

Awesome

Nothing. They are closed and didnt put iz on web. Shame

It has gotten significantly OVER PRICED in a month. From 3 to 5 cedis for local and from 10 to 40 cedis for non ghanian just to enter. No guides or anything. Unless you book a local guide. Entry fee is too much for non ghanian ESPECIALLY if you're from the African diaspora. I wasn't prepared for that fee from the time it was researched to the time visted. Disappointing

The place is quiet and old..Ancient buildings sometimes look stronger than recent times building. The artworks displayed there are so beautiful.....But the surroundings are very awful 🙁

The tour guides at the newly opened museum were very efficient during my 2 hour tour of the Ussher Fort. They are very knowledgeable about the slave trade that took place along our coast some 400 years ago. Someone among the management team has to a lot to market the museum to the general population and tourists, particularly those who do not have the luxury of time to visit Elmina and Cape Coast castles. Ussher Fort can be turned into a very good business venture.

Historical site in the heart of the Accra City. Pleasant place to visit.

This place is, objectively, poorly kept, but the guide (named Zach) was absolutely great. Really informative, honest and interesting. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, but make sure you get a guide otherwise the poorly kept space will not mean anything…

The place is a great historical ground for those who are interested in studying what actually went on in the Ghana arm Forces, True story of Heroes of Ghana (Gold Coast). You will love it much more when you visit there

The place is very conducive.

Fully loaded with Ghana history

So much to learn. An average tour takes 45min. You have tour guides who are ready to consider your needs.

One place within Kumasi you can get rich Ashanti and Ghanaian History.

Nice experience here as the history continues. It is very relevant to visit here and Manhyia Palace since they share same history. Nice time here

This museum has a lot of history of the armed force.You will find the jet personally used by Rawlings, different types of war instruments,weapon's, military cars and trucks,fighter jets , helicopters used by the Ghanian Army, Navy and Air force. There are dungeons where prisoners were kept,photos of weapon's,war clothes from in Ghana. This should be one of the first place you should see anytime you are opportuned to pass through Kumasi.

An environment of total historical architecture engulfed with excellent hospitality

Old military accessories on display

Serene environment

A good place to know GHANA HISTORY

A nice place for historical archives.

Full of history

Nice place...

Great stories

Rich history of the Asantes, colonial wars and heroism of Yaa Asantewaa. And oh there are enough antiques about the wars we have fought as a nation.

Historic

Good for tourist

(Translated by Google) Yh (Original) Yh

It consists of Ghana's history

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of history I wasn't aware of! It's also amazing to see the site of so much recent local history.

Good reception

The securities our nationa

For ancient history, be sure to go here in Kumasi, the biggest city in Ghana

Interesting location

Cool museum

Come learn of the military history of the Asantes and that of the country as a whole

This is a great place to visit. It's full of history, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable about each part of the fort. Most artifacts you can touch. Old guns and many pictures of past and present C + Cs which is interesting. Old prisons and hidden gold! Enjoy your visit.

Nice museum

Awesome museum, rich history

Such a nice place to be. You'll get all the history you want from this place.

Nice experience

Why are you not not trying to visit this place you will love you did thanks

Cool place shows Ghana armed forces modern history

Tourist center

Tour guide was a bit extra, but aside from that, good information and interesting, heartbreaking history

Very nice place

⭐

It is an old prison.

Nice architecture under the Accra-Tema motorway with beautiful surroundings

There is alot of traffic even though is was rebuilt. coming from spintex towards the tunnel can be hectic during particular time and day. Since many are trying to dodge the traffic by three mall, they only made it worse for themselves. I suggest you use the GOOGLE MAPS for suggestion on the best route to take. Good luck.

Quick and easy route to Spintex or Accra Mall depending on where you heading. Watch out for the rush hour though

One of the quickest routes to use.

It's has been well renovated, so it looks spacious and easy to drive through

Was a nice place

Well lit all day. Traffic movement well controlled . There is Police presence at most times.

The fastest route to link up with you Accra Tema motorway, spintex, cantonments,

There can be alot of traffic before you get to the tunnel sometimes, but once you get there you would have avoided alot of traffic on the Tetteh quarshie interchange.

Good but lots of traffic on the road. The overpass linking the tunnel to spintex should be done as early as possible to ease traffic on the road

It has been expanded and though there's still traffic there but it is now not like previously when it was too narrow when you have to keep soo long before passing through

...although there are lights there, the place is a bit dark even during the day! The maximum height is 3.3m - which means trucks are not eligible to ply that route!

Cool place

Good

👌

nice but not that wide.

Needs more improvement trafic is still a killer

It's ok.

An underpass that links the whole of Accra

Well constructed and well lit tunnel

Beads

There's a little or more traffic there

Its better now.

It's a tunnel that connects East legon to the Spintex road

Free traffic flow

Good road

traffic is heavy towards the evenings, otherwise its shorter to connect to east legon from town.

Gives convenient access to Spintex from East Legon. Would give 5 stars if the route had double lanes to accommodate traffic.

it real cool

Shorter route

I enjoy here

Best tunnel in Accra

shame

Now road network improved

Nice flowering plants, traditional beads and a whole lot. The traffic actually helps to feed your eyes.

Really cool flowers 💫

Because of the flowers

Orderly, flowing traffic.

Beautiful

Nice

Nice flowers, but can be done on a larger scale and structured marketing provided. You'd be amazed the flowers you'd find there

Unique place

Great place. Great and accessible administrative. The director was very nice to me. The board is in charge of many historical places in Ghana. Visit for quick consultation and possibly access of any Ghana monument of choice.

My first time

I love this place but there should be more work done to what is available. More renovations and modern or technology should be included in their servicing

It was a nice experience. Much trained Tour Guides... I recommend to all.

Needs major restorative and renovative work.. The public agencies overseeing such national interests must wake from their years of slumber.

I loved learning about the history of Ghana

Very closed as of Feb 2020. Construction was in process and the staff mentioned a possible re-opening in March 2020, but that sounded too optimistic. Everything was boarded up, and even the sculpture garden was filled with trash, and many sculptures were broken. There was no information about the closure on their website, or on the signs outside the museum.

Incomplete building

It an interesting place

It's interesting

Excellent

Amazing work of art

They are always out of service

Under renovation

Museum was closed for renovations (?????). The website did not have ANY information listing that it was closed. We found out after arriving there. We looked at the statues in the garden.

Museum closed for the year oblivious to the fact that it's the year of return!

Not changed in over 40 years

Beautiful place

Very poor services

Any information of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah the fist president of the republic of Ghana, please visit Ghana museums.

Nothing Mach to see

Ok

A good place of history...

I was only at the restaurant

This is a place to visit

(Translated by Google) In the yard of renovation (Original) En cour de rénovation

Could not get enough views - there is an ongoing renovation.

National Museum of Ghana...

This place is closed for construction they do not tell you on web or signage outside. Very disappointed

The national museum is closed for renovation!!!

Good

Good

nice place with good stuffs come and have a view.

Do you want to know more about the heritage of Ghana? This is the place to be.

Beautiful place to visit in Ghana

Nothing serious

Historic place

Was at inspection there to know current status.

The Fort needs attention, maintenance is poor

Hello all the way to

Unfortunately the structure is almost left to itself. The guides are very nice. However, I recommend visiting the structure, due to its historical importance. We hope they will be taken care of soon.

Love this place especially Chale wote festivals

A place with a great story. From trading hall to prison, deep histories were written there

Was lovely hearing historical events that took place there

Closed, as James Fort. Yes, There are some private guys around to show you inside, but at a cost... Doue to Cv, Ghana is not a tourist destination anyway, at the moment.

I wish we did not interfere with the history of slave trade by using the place as a prison in the recent years.

Show up to see some of the art installations for the Chalewote Street Art Festival... Artworks and Art installations will be removed by 31st August 2022....

One of the Oldest Fort in Accra, Ghana. Now a tourist attraction and you will love and also have a feel of what our forefathers went through during the colonial times.

Very good place to get fresh seafood .. it can be maintained little more neatly ...but vendors are helpful and hospitable

It's a place of history..with a lot of tourist attractions..prices of goods,services and foods are cheap..all the roads are good but traffic flow is poor. Apartment renting is not that expensive, which is good for business hence attracting a lot of visitors, hereby increasing the population..
