Richmond

Richmond offers visitors and local Virginians the chance to discover its complex past. As a city that heavily capitalized on the institution of slavery for years, African Americans found that the road to freedom in Richmond would be lined with turbulent twists and turns. Learn about the experiences of Richmond’s African American community by visiting the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the site where the Adams-Van Lew House once stood, the approximate area where the Union army entered Richmond, and more.
