Google Cultural Institute Virtual Tours and Exhibits
In 2015, the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site partnered with the Google Cultural Institute to create a virtual museum tour and several online exhibits. Our site was one of eight national historic sites selected to participate in this program, making the interior of the Walker house more accessible to virtual visitors.
Explore the Walker home using Google's street view technology on the virtual tour. Additional exhibits highlight the Independent Order of St. Luke headquarters, St. Luke Hall, and how Mrs. Walker served as a role model for African Americans and women.
