The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. The house is well preserved and its like youre transported back in time. The tour is about an hour long and the kids can do activities in their junior park ranger booklet throughout it. Recommend this historical site to people looking to get their history fix in Richmond.

If you like museums and history....Go visit Maggie L. Walkers home in Richmond, VA! The National Park Service (NPS) maintains this property and it was and is an eye-opener. I admit, i did not know who she was.....but i find myself telling EVERYONE i encounter about Maggie and her absolutely PHENOMENAL life!I am now and forever will be a fan of Maggie L. Walker and her legacy!!I enjoyed learning about her and all she has done!

Small house- great woman!If you have never heard who Maggie L. Walker was, heres the place to find it out! Her house is well preserved and maintained by National Park Service (NPS)/ Richmond national Battlefield Park (RNBP).We visited during the 2nd street festival and were given a short but very interesting and informative tour. Definitely recommend this site to everyone! There is no admission fee and you will leave much richer than you came.

We loved our tour! The staff was very polite and knowledgeable, we learned a lot and will be back again. My daughter earned a very cool patch for girl scouts and became a junior ranger.

I have visited many famous figures mansions/ houses and this is the most special one. It is why I am taking my time to write a review after the visit.The visitor center is simple and relatively small but the staffs are welcoming. The film is very motivational and inspiring.Maggie was a spiritual and inspiring woman that we should learn from and memorize. Dont neglect the roles colored people play in U.S decades ago.

The staff was fantastic and we learned so much.

Amazingly preserved home of an amazing woman! Great tour. Highly recommend! And its even free!

I, rather shamefully, had never heard of Maggie Walker before coming to this park. I left with an appreciation for all she did for her community (and in turn, America). Park ranger Ben Anderson have a thoughtful and respectful tour of her home where he was careful to note the significance of her standing for the period. After our visit here, this is easily one of my favorite national parks -- up there with Yellowstone!

If you are ever in the area, please visit and at least see the movie about her life. She was a wonderful person that did a lot for Africa Americans.

This place is rich with history and preserved extremely well. We loved learning about Maggie Walker and the history of the Jackson Ward area. Our musem guide was the best.

The staff is amazing very patient and knowledgeable. The children actually found it to be Awesomely great.Thought her house was pretty & big.It was interesting to see all the items from over 100 years old.

A great place to learn about the history of Richmond Virginia. Especially a great stop during March for Womens History Month.

Lovely tour!!! A must see in Richmond Virginia

We enjoyed the atmosphere and my catfish was really good. The crab legs were okay. Some were rubbery. Our waitress was super friendly.

Very informative. Excellent preservation of Mrs. Walkers belongings. Highly recommend a visit.

This was such a neat experience, lots of information. Amazing, I would love to go back again.

Very neat place to visit in the heart of the city. Great walk down memory lane.

Very interesting glimpse into civil rights history you dont get taught in the classroom.

Visited the Maggie L Walker NHS as we try to visit all of the units in the park system. The staff here was extremely friendly and informative and, due to the low visitor count, we got a private tour of Maggies home.Would recommend visiting to learn more about this woman. Expect to spend 1-2 hours here if you do the tour

This was a remarkable woman who did amazing things with no excuses. So happy that we stopped and visited this site. This American Hero is definitely unsung, she overcame and accomplished things that would be hard to do today, but she did it as a Black Woman in what was the Capital of the Confederacy.

Well preserved NPS historic site. Roughly 90% of the Maggie L. Walkers home is original. The Park Ranger that led our tour did a great job sharing Ms. Walkers incredible life story.

Our personal favorite of the national park sites in central Virginia. Great film & tour of the house. Parking on the street. A time-capsule of long ago almost completely intact. Highly recommended.

Nice place. Great way to throw an event

I wish I had discovered this gem sooner! Rich in history and draped in culture, visiting this establishment filled me with a sense of pride. Just being in the same vicinity of someone so great was surreal. I encourage all women and especially women of color to visit Maggie L. Walkers home, I cant wait to go back!

I learned a lot of history I didnt know before and the ranger was very thorough and knowledgeable on explaining everything. An important story that is worth learning.

Exceptional historic home, impeccably preserved with over 90% original artifacts and furniture!Very interesting place and, definitely, a very important female figure in Richmonds black history.Highly recommend coming to visit!

Its a very nice scenery.. highly recommend to visit with family and friends

Informative tour! We enjoyed ourselves

Its through my daughters school project that I heard of this Heroine, her stature is unrivaled. This is a must visit for All

Loved the tour that was chock full of information about this most amazing woman.

Always a blessing to see recognition of generational works.

Very interesting. Never knew about her before visiting.

The tour was great and the Ranger answered all our questions! I am definitely taken my nieces and nephews to this museum!

Beautiful architecture and still has a classy ambience walking this district. Go for an afternoon stroll!

One of my must see places to take out of town guests and I always learn something new. They have a new introductory film that highlights a lot of local places. The park rangers (?) are friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

An interesting building with beautiful architecture from an a long time ago. It is located in an area of Richmond that can be a bit scary after hours so be sure to travel carefully. The inside is well preserved with many interesting things to see. The people inside are very nice and offer useful details and information that really help to enrich the experience. Check this place out if you can.

All children need to visit to learn about this great woman we as women has and is still doing great things know your History

The food was really good and generous serving size. Drinks were good as well. The waitstaff was friendly, fast and efficient . I will definitely return soon .

Great NPS Ranger guided tour of Walker house. Learn about the life of this significant educator, advocate and bank founder.

Very interesting film and house tour

As a history person I was drawn in by this woman and her family. Her story and impact on the area itself is amazing.

Maggie Walker is an amazing woman that should be recognized. The visitor center has practically zero displays on Ms. Walker and the place is small and musty. The house was generously wealthy for its time and location but tight for tour groups larger than six. If you have issues with climbing stairs or standing for more than 45 minutes-this is not for you. I do NOT recommend this for kids under 10...tour too long and they cannot touch anything. I wouldve like to have heard more about her Irish birth father (parents relationship) and less of the accidental shooting. Knowledgable and friendly staff.

Everyone should learn about Maggie Walker in their history classes, but few do. Maggie Walkers home in Richmond has been recreated with all of her original furnishings. And, while the house is nice -- its an early 20th century period house with a few interesting pieces -- its really Maggie Walkers story that needs to be told. An amazing woman who was a civil rights leader and a leader for womens rights and equality. Ask the guide to point you toward where her bank and department store were located in the neighborhood and add them onto your walking tour of Maggies Richmond.

This historic home and museum really help you understand Richmond. Maggie Walker is a national treasure and a helluva woman!

The history you learn is AMAZING!!! I felt empowered visiting!! Great for all ages!!

I advise everyone to read the plaques showing that the Black commercial district thrived orior to integration for hundreds of years. #1stBlackWallStreet

This was an amazing experience! Im surprised its free

Informative Realistic just great

Rude armed guards and unknowledgeable staff and having federal officers with weapons while I tpur a museum is just creepy as fok. There is less security at my bank. When asked they go out of your way to make you feel uncomfortable and intimidated, like some kind of power trip to guard a Courtyard at a museum. Too bad the monuments dont get the same attention... #NotTheOldRichmond #MyHomeIsForeverLost

Well worth the visit. This is part of Richmond and Virginias heritage worth everyones time to learn. Our Park Ranger tour guide told us all kinds of cool stories. Well preserved site in important Richmond neighborhood.

Learn a lot about this prominent black business woman. Glad I did the tour and watched a mini video about this amazing women.

I love taking my boy to learn me things. This was fun and very educational

I was told by the Rangers, the street parking around the site, was just designated for two hour parking, it was previously one hour only. Arrive at least one hour before closing to get the full guided tour; which includes a film and then a tour of the house and grounds.

I had a field trip yesterday, we went to Tredager Iron Works, Maggie L. Walker, & St Johns Episcopal Church. My favorite historic site was the Maggie L. Walker home. The fact that 90% of the homes items were once owned by Mrs. Walker and she actually stepped foot everyday in that home... was a terrific experience!

Really enjoyed the tour. The guides are a wealth of knowledge!

Loved the house and tour was free

Fantastic historical site, home of a maverick and a philanthropic African American female legend.

Ranger Nathan was engaging and passionate about the history. I learned a lot and it was really enjoyable.

Historic and bery Richmond, stop and ride a bike or scooter the veiws

A very informative tour. Most of whats in the house is original.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the house was interesting to learn about. Cool history lesson.

This was a great experience! There is a lot of history in this house. The tour guide was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

So much great history !

Really felt welcomed. Best club sandwich in town.

An excellent visit. A very special historic site with much to see and the story of an incredible woman and her family.

I was blown away by all of the history in this place. I even discovered that one of Mrs. Walkers sons was one of my Fraternity brothers. This is a must see.

Mercy, here 5/26/18 doing the tourist thing and pleasantly surprised with this womans journey and dedication to people. The Park Guide was excellent.

This memorial is very clean and informative regarding Maggie. It inspired me to go visit her home in Jackson Ward Edition called Quality Row

Awesome history and tour guide, she was amazing

Not quite sure about this place...I will need to return

Small museum dedicated to a very unheralded black businesswoman in segregated Richmond

Very informative

A great part of American history in historic downtown Richmond, Virginia; many nearby restaurants, near the convention center, within walking distance to much of downtown.

I learned so much about this important lady, and everyone who worked there seemed very knowledgeable. Theres a video to watch, and then a tour of her home. We were done with both in under an hour.

Eye opening beautiful tour and the best tour guide.

Its a must see! Our history!Ben was an awesome tour guide

Far exceeded my expectations! An amazing home and accomplishments for a black woman of her era. The staff was very friendly.

Wonderful tour and very knowledgeable staff. My daughter really enjoyed their Junior Ranger program.

I learned so much from the tour guide who was not only informative, but also very passionate about the historical value and contributions made by such an awesome God-fearing lady, Maggie L. Walker.

Must see. Great womanVery small but a must see

This us a very quaint neighborhood and Lucys Restaurant is a five star if you enjoy steak.

Great experience. I never who Maggie L. Walker was till I did the tour.

The staff here was incredible! Our tour was amazing, but everyone was so friendly, helpful, and informative.

Proud to visit an African American woman historic place. That is an inspirational on all women of color to see if you want something you have to work for it

The monument wall is peaceful and serine. Read more about Maggie Walkers wonderful life.

I went with my family and it was great.Anyone living in Richmond should definitely take the tour.

I learned so much!! My tour guide was absolutely amazing. I recommend it to anyone!

Very amazing and informational site

Excellent film, tour, exhibit. The whole thing was wonderful top to bottom.

Wonderful museum and very knowledgeable tour !!

Amazing little known history

No doudt a must see for all. My mom and I visited this historical site today Aug 28 2015 and the tour was informative and enlightening. Our tour guide Patrick was great. Mary Walker was indeed a pioneer in her own right and definitely should be recognized of all her hard work and great contributions she made very glad we got to expierence her legacy.

Great place to vist

Wonderful!!!! Enrichment for the !! And soul! Get your life and treat yourself!!!

Wonderful piece of history. Her house is simply amazing.

It was very interesting to step back in time to see how she lived and all that she accomplished
