Norfolk, Virginia, United States
Norfolk Through the Ages
Norfolk, Virginia is one of America's oldest port cities, and its streets hold centuries of stories layered one on top of another like the rings of an ancient tree. This walking tour pulls those layers apart, inviting you to stand in places where colonial settlers, Civil War soldiers, Victorian merchants, and twentieth-century artists all left their marks on the same stretch of land along the Elizabeth River and the surrounding downtown neighborhoods.
This is just a preview—explore the full tour in the Walksy app for GPS navigation, audio narration, and every stop along the way.
