Richmond

USA · Virginia

Richmond is the capital of Virginia, on the James River, with a long and layered history that includes its time as the capital of the Confederacy. The Virginia State Capitol, designed by Thomas Jefferson, and the grand houses of Monument Avenue reflect that past. Today the city is also known for its museums, breweries and restaurants, and for river rapids and parks right in the city.
