A “History Walking Tour of Jackson Ward” sponsored by the Valentine Richmond History Center will take place tomorrow from 2-4PM. Meet the guide in front of the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. You do not need to preregister. Each tour costs $10 (cash only) at tour site, $9 in advance at History Center.
From the Valentine Richmond History Center walking tours page:
Known as the “birthplace of Black Capitalism,” Jackson Ward is rich in memories of African-American businesses, churches, and places of entertainment. As you tour this historic area, you will have the opportunity to view the Maggie Walker House, the A.D. Price Funeral Home, the Dill House, and other neighborhood businesses and residences that have been rehabilitated.
