Free Admission to Richmond Area Historic Sites
For one weekend, September 21–22, folks in my town of Richmond, Virginia can travel back in time. In a biannual tradition, you can get a “passport” and wander through 19 of the area’s historic homes, museums, churches, and more for FREE.
Buckle up. It’s not too often you can travel with adventure through 400 years in one weekend, no time machine required. Talk about Chasing Histories! So which historic sites are included? The list is below.
