Richmond--the capital of Virginia--is a historic city known for Church Hill, where in 1775, Patrick Henry inspired his fellow Virginians with the famous words, "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Located on the James River, Richmond is nationally recognized for accessible whitewater rapids in its downtown area. The city has many tourist attractions and is also well situated as a base to other major tourist attractions.

Richmond is located within one hour of Colonial Williamsburg to the east and Charlottesville to the west, where you can tour the Blue Ridge Mountains, the University of Virginia, and Monticello (Thomas Jefferson’s home).

Richmond is within two hours of Washington D.C. as well as the Atlantic Coast. Follow these links for more information about the area:
