Things To Do

Rangers offer guided tours of Mrs. Walker's home.

TAKE A TOUR

Park rangers provide guided tours of an exhibit hall and Mrs. Walker's home. In the exhibit hall, trace Mrs. Walker's life from her early days to her time as a community leader, bank president, and civil rights activist. Continue the tour in Mrs. Walker's historic home, preserved as a tribute to her enduring legacy of vision, courage and determination. Tours last about an hour and are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you don't have time for a full tour, rangers may be able to offer an abbreviated tour.

Before your tour, watch the 12 minute introductory film. The Maggie Lena Walker Story captures the spirit of a woman who became a prominent civic leader, financier, and business woman during the early 20^th century.

Reservations are required for groups of ten or more.

The park offers special events throughout the year. Check out the Schedule of Events for upcoming events.
