Charlie Harley, #14153 1,098 Posted October 15 I’m traveling to Richmond next week and will have one late afternoon/evening there. Is there anything in particular that is a must-see? Any restaurant recommendations? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hillbilly Drifter 745 Posted October 15 Greentop Sporting goods in Ashland is a must see. HUGE store, great selection and pricing. Firebirds in Midlothian is a great restaurant in the mid price range. Worth the visit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Start with Hollywood Cemetery the burial place of two presidents and numerous confederate generals including Pickett and Stewart. The confederate White House and museum are always interesting as is the Tredegar Iron Works. There is history everywhere that you look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smoky Pistols 475 Posted October 15 (edited) The Southern Kitchen. Best Chicken livers and collard greens I've had in a long time! All made fresh from her grandmother's recipes. Edited October 15 by Smoky Pistols Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixgun Sheridan 2,449 Posted October 15 Just outside Richmond is the Cold Harbor battlefield. Also pretty neat. It's covered in forest now but the trenches are still visible in the ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cold_Harbor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forty Rod SASS 3935 3,469 Posted October 15 (edited) Some of you would go to one of the most famous historical places in America and eat what you can buy almost anywhere else? Edited October 16 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After getting directions we went out to the battle field. Shortly after getting there we were joined by the ranger who gave us the directions and he gave us a great private tour. It was greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utah Bob #35998 7,954 Posted October 16 Richmond absolutely reeks of history. One day wouldn’t be nearly enough for me. I wouldn’t know where to start. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
