Review:
Richmond is Virginia's lovely capital city, known as one of the oldest of the United States' major cities, originally founded in 1747. The city is home to famed sites such as the St. John's Church, known as the site of Founding Father Patrick Henry's famed "give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775, which spurred the Revolutionary War.
Visitors can learn about American history at the preserved White House of the Confederacy, which once served as the home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and is now preserved as a museum within the city's Court End neighborhood.
The city's revitalized downtown district is home to the picturesque Canal Walk, along with the gorgeous Richmond CenterStage performing arts center.
Arts institutions include the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, while trendy food destinations include Metzger Bar and Butchery.
