Overview of Richmond
Richmond, Virginia is a city of contrasts. It is steeped in history: From colonial times, to the civil war and on to the civil rights movement of the 50's, Richmond has had a prominent place in the formation of our country. And yet while the very streets of Richmond are paved in history, there is also a modern, youthful feel to the city. This duality makes Richmond an exciting place to visit for all types. Families will enjoy Richmond's museums, parks and many learning opportunities; singles and young people will love the thriving music scene and hip nightlife. When planning a bed and breakfast vacation, Richmond is an ideal place to go, precisely because it offers so much. Southern hospitality? Have it in spades! Cultural diversity? Everywhere you look! Historical Integrity? Yes, yes, yes! Don't be fooled by the bustling population and seemingly large capital city-- at its heart, Richmond is a small Southeastern town, gracious and elegant and ready to cater to you, the visitor!
