Foundation Document: Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site
2017. Foundation Document: Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site. National Park Service
This foundation document was prepared for Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site as a collaborative effort between park and regional staff. Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site preserves Maggie L. Walker’s home and its setting within Jackson Ward and interprets her achievements as a civil rights activist and pioneering entrepreneur in Jim Crow-era Richmond, Virginia. Every unit of the national park system will have a foundational document to provide basic guidance for planning and management decisions—a foundation for planning and management. The core components of a foundation document include a brief description of the park as well as the park’s purpose, significance, fundamental resources and values, other important resources and values, and interpretive themes. The foundation document also includes special mandates and administrative commitments, an assessment of planning and data needs that identifies planning issues, planning products to be developed, and the associated studies and data required for park planning. Along with the core components, the assessment provides a focus for park planning activities and establishes a baseline from which planning documents are developed.
