The house that holds the Dexter Parsonage Museum, a nine-room clapboard home built in 1912, was home to 12 Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church pastors from 1920-1992, including Dr. Martin Luther King and his family.
They lived in the parsonage from 1954 to 1960. The house has been renovated to appear the way it looked when Dr. King and his family lived in it, and it includes living and dining room, bedroom and study furniture used by Dr. King.
The museum also has an Interpretive Center, and the outdoors King-Johns Garden for Reflection.
The Interpretive Center features a permanent exhibit that includes photographs of all 12 pastors that lived in the Dexter Parsonage, a wall of Pastoral Wisdom with various pastor’s inspiring quotes, and previously unpublished photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King, Montgomery ministers who participated in the bus boycott, and much more.
