A Brief History of Richmond, Virginia

The city's recent revival has taken full advantage of the treasures of the James River, and some of the swankiest apartments on the market are the former tobacco warehouses that are now river view condos over the James. Canal boats offer short tours between the places where locks once elevated boats for river journeys, and a walkway on top of the city's flood wall gives glimpes of bald eagles, Great Blue Herons and other species with Richmond's skyscrapers looming in the background.

Up from the James, near the Thomas Jefferson-designed state Capitol, The Museum and White House of the Confederacy, on East Clay Street, houses the world's largest collection of military, political and domestic artifacts and art about the Civil War. The museum has a dazzling array of confederate flags, weapons and personal effects. The Capitol is a great attraction as well, ringed by monuments. The most imposing is at the gated entrance of the Capitol -- George Washington astride a horse. The Capitol, built in 1788, is a testament to the Jefferson's genius (he brought many Classical Roman architecture to Virginia, including his home in Monticello) and has been the backdrop of many movies.
