Walker’s Inn: A Haven of History Once a vibrant rest stop and community hub, Walker’s Inn holds a unique place in Stafford County’s history. Built by an African American entrepreneur during the early 20th century, this inn offered travelers a safe and welcoming place to rest during an era when such accommodations were scarce for African Americans. Today, it’s a powerful reminder of how African American businesses thrived despite the challenges of segregation. Walker’s Inn is just one of the many stops on the Stafford African American Heritage Trail, where you can explore stories of resilience and entrepreneurship. ??
