may 4th visitor center印象

Informative and moving exhibit. The film was great for helping put it all in context. For a small museum, it was extremely well put together.

I was extremely moved, and at the same time impressed with both the quality and the presentation of both the exhibits and the audiovisual presentation of the riots that took place on the Kent State University campus on May 4, 1970.At the time, it was a very significant event in the history of the United States. A very elaborate memorial near this visitor center shows the significance of this event as well.The presentation consists of audiovisual presentations, numerous dioramas showing the time frame of the events, what happened, the reactions from people that were there, and from all over the world to the event.This exhibit is a must when visiting Kent State University and is well worth spending some time here!

Went to visit this site because I believe in the right of free speech. I was only 4 years old when this tragedy happened and this visitors center gave me an idea what the atmosphere surrounding the Vietnam War was like. The center is extremely well put together. It is small but contains a large amount of information about that day. There is also information about before and after the tragedy. There are four individual memorials in the parking lot where the four people were killed. You can walk around the field where the protest took place. The university left the field alone as it was in 1970. Everywhere at Kent State there is parking that requires a permit to park. However there are a couple of parking spots reserved for visitors to the memorial. Look for the signs. The only problem I had was that I wanted to buy a May 4th memorial coffee cup, but you have to go to the book store in another building in order to buy it. They don't sell any souvenirs at the visitors center.

We spent and hour here. Especially nice for our 11 year old to see. The small exhibit is extremely well done. We could have stayed a bit longer if we didn't have a 6 year old with us. Highly recommend for everyone.

For those of us who lived through that time, it is a powerful reminder of May 1970. For those born after the events, it is an excellent history lesson. You get a feel for what those tumultuous times were like.

It's a great memorial to a historic event in our country. I never knew all the details, but this memorial gives you a timeline of the events and a full understanding of what actually took place.

For a small museum, this packs a lot of punch. They did a great job of illustrating the issues that led up to the shootings, including ones that I would not have realized as being directly related. The presentation was balanced, explaining attitudes on both sides. Parts of it were absolutely gut wrenching, like the description of Allison Krause putting a flower in the rifle of a National Guardsman, advocating peaceful resolutions to conflicts, an anti-war poem by one of the male victims that eerily foreshadowed his own death, and the video presentation that made the viewer feel like they were there during the shootings. The museum has brought me a new found understanding and grave reverence of this tragedy.

It was very educational it had an 11 minute video to watch made you aware of what happened on that day. the museum is neat to walk around in and see the different history of times.

I was young when the May 4th event took place yet I remember it clearly. This museum was like stepping back in time and viewing it all over again. Time stands still here...the pain lingers...the uncertainty of the time is renewed. There's really so much to be learned from the experiences of these then-young people and so much regret that many of the issues are still so relevant. This is a must-see/experience!

The story of the May 4th tragedy on campus is told coherently and movingly. It is also a good idea to take the mapped walk which stops at the various sites of importance. Excellently done.
