Maggie L Walker National Historic Site
Tue to Sun: 9:00am – 5:00pm
Want to get up close and personal with a pillar of African American history? Visit the Richmond home of Maggie Lena Walker. A civil rights leader in the Jim Crow era, this tough woman left behind a legacy.
Among her (many) accomplishments, Walker was the first female founder and president of a chartered bank. This historic site in the heart of downtown Richmond is a tribute to her life and work during a time rife with civil rights struggle.
Park rangers lead visitors through the restored two-story residence several times a day. With its collection of Walker family artifacts, this place quickly transports you to the 1930s. The historic site also features a visitor center, which details Walker's life and the role Richmond played in her endeavors.
If you have some spare time, walk through the historic Jackson Ward

If you have some spare time, walk through the historic Jackson Ward neighborhood. A podcast tour brings the old segregation-era buildings to life. If you don't have an iPod, the visitor center can lend you one.
You can easily see this historic site in a single afternoon, but don't let that fool you. It's impossible not to come away from this landmark feeling inspired by Walker's courage and spirit.
