The center is located on a university campus that welcomes visitors, and you can explore the exhibitions at your own pace. Check opening hours before you visit and confirm availability, as campus schedules can vary, especially on weekends or during university breaks.
The center has a dedicated theater that screens documentary films about the histories and cultures of southeastern Native peoples. These screenings complement the exhibitions and offer another way to engage with these stories.
