Today, we’ll cut a path through the heart of Virginia’s capital. You’ll stand where presidents brooded, congressmen argued, and suffragists made history-sometimes all at the same intersection. With 14 stops ahead, get ready to brush up against powerful stories, grand old buildings, and more statues than you can shake a stick at. Just try not to shake a stick at them-Richmond’s got enough history; let’s not add vandalism to the record.
As you walk, I’ll start talking when you reach each landmark. If technology decides to take a nap, just tap play to wake me up. Lost? Tap that map icon. Confused? Ask me questions below-I never run out of answers. At religious or sensitive stops, like St. Peter’s Pro-Cathedral, dress with respect.
A word to the wise: watch for traffic, hydrate if it’s warm, and keep an eye on your things-Richmond plays host to the past, but pickpockets are strictly contemporary.
If you’re ready, make your way to the Confederate States Congress-the first stop. Let’s open Richmond’s story together. I’ll see you there.
