The Walker Museum is in the heart of Walker, Louisiana, which is midway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. On Interstate 12, going either east or west, take Exit #15. Head north on Walker South Road, through two traffic lights. The Walker Museum is about a mile up the road on the right, between Stine Lumber and Hancock Bank, just before U.S. Highway 190.

The Walker Museum in the Classroom

Teachers can use The Walker Museum as a learning tool in the classroom. We can arrange exclusive classroom tours by appointment. Speakers are also available to share Walker's history with your students. And we've created a "scavenger hunt" activity that can be used as homework or an extra-credit assignment as part of any lessons on Louisiana history. To read more, click here.
