Central Business District Tours

Very cool place to visit in downtown Richmond. My kids loved it they got coloring books so they were very happy with that. Tons of history here.

Richmond, VA, USA Canal Walk
There are many interesting sites on the Richmond Canal walk. This is a part of an old mill. Richmond's Canal Walk meanders 1.25 miles through downtown Richmond along the banks of the Haxall Canal and the James River & Kanawha Canal.
