Freedom Riders National Monument is a new national park unit. The monument includes the former Greyhound Bus Depot where segregationists attacked a bus carrying Freedom Riders. A second site protects where the mob firebombed the hobbled bus and attempted to trap the Freedom Riders inside it. There are limited facilities at the Greyhound Bus Depot and no facilities at the Bus Burning Site.
