Premier Richmond Historical Sites
Virginia may have more history than any other state – and much of it occurred right here in the Richmond Region. See the Region’s story unfold at award-winning Richmond historical sites. The second successful English settlement is re-created at Henricus Historical Park. Patrick Henry delivered his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech at St. John's Episcopal Church, the site of the Second Virginia Convention. Tour Tuckahoe Plantation, Thomas Jefferson's boyhood home. Or stroll along Monument Avenue, the only avenue that's designated a National Historic Landmark in the United States.
Turn back the clock with visits to the area's many restored homes and buildings…including the recently-renovated Hanover Tavern, which offers a restaurant and theater. See historical re-enactments of Parson’s Cause, an important event leading up to the American Revolution, across the street at the courthouse.. Magnolia Grange, an 1822 Federal-style plantation house in the Chesterfield Museum Complex, is noted for its exquisite architecture. The 1860s come alive at Meadow Farm Museum, with costumed interpreters highlighting daily activities at this small village. Visitors to Jackson Ward — once known as the “Harlem of the South” – can learn about the contributions of African-Americans to U.S. history through compelling walking tours and museums.
And no visit to the former Capital of the Confederacy would be complete without touring some of the area's most famous Civil War battlefields.
