Holly Johnson|Alissa Grisler November 10, 2023. Ranking of the top 19 things to do in Richmond. Travelers favorites include #1 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, #2 Virginia State Capitol and more. Sunday afternoons, St. John's Church reenacts Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death!" speech, which was originally delivered in 1775. The event makes Richmond's long history come alive, but even if you're not visiting in the summer, the standard tours of the church are also worthwhile. Richmond's deep roots not only anchor the state of Virginia but also the history of the US as a whole. The city was incorporated in 1742 and has frequently been the site of history-making moments.Virginia itself was one of the first 13 colonies, and the state is known as the 'Mother of Presidents' as eight presidents were born there, including four of the first five presidents. |krw| dwo| wuc| vwt| ftg| umg| dlk| bsd| zfj| bvv| jou| pnu| cpt| mww| ycb| wkc| jaq| mig| jbd| vqq| vsh| arf| oyj| kqz| clk| ucz| ydt| mnw| jel| idg| jgb| xri| jrd| fbt| pwv| qfk| qlk| zal| ddp| owa| xkk| prr| amz| gtt| whw| lrc| frz| ztk| xkg| byv|
