Badagry Heritage Museum

The museum traces the story of Badagry’s association with the Slave Trade and houses several relics dating back to the era of slavery.
The museum is located in the centre of the historic tourist town of Badagry (in the Boekoh quarters area, known as “Adugbooyinbo”, meaning “neighbourhood of white men” in local Yoruba dialect). It is a short walk from the first ((European) storey building in Nigeria built in 1845 by the Church Missionary Society and just a stone’s throw from the building which served as the official residence of the 82 colonial District Officers that Badagry paid host to in the 100 years leading up to Nigeria’s independence in 1960.
