JMU Campus History Tour

This digital walking tour came together in fall 2020 as a class project for HIST 696: Introduction to Public History taught by Dr. Meg Mulrooney. Created by students in the Master’s Program in History, it supports the work of the JMU Campus History Committee by mapping the experiences of Black students, faculty, staff, and community members to physical spaces and structures and grouping them by historical era. It is designed to be used while walking the campus, although that isn’t necessary. Future plans to expand the site as well as map the experiences of indigenous, Asian American, Latino/a/x, and other groups are underway.
