TOUR & WINE TASTING ~ Welcome to Richmond
City of Richmond Guided Historic Tour ~ White House of the Confederacy
~Valentine Museum ~Wickham House ~ Museum of the Confederacy
Begin your day with a guided bus tour through the historic streets of Richmond. The four mandatory
“must sees” of Richmond will be discovered. You will see and hear about the 400 years of Richmond
history including, the James River Fall Line, St. John’s Church where Paul Revere gave his
famous speech, the Fan District, Monument Avenue, the stair case in the
Jefferson Hotel (was it in Gone with the Wind?), the Union spy and more.
Next, the day continues with a guided tour of the Wickham House and
White House of the Confederacy and self touring of the Valentine
Richmond History Center and the Museum of the Confederacy.
Intermixed in these activities, you will spend leisurely time in the luscious
gardens of the Valentine Center enjoying lunch and tasting wine from two
Richmond vintners.
For more details on the historic sites, read on …
The Valentine Richmond History Center’s Wickham House is a spectacular example of 19th century Federal
architecture, and displays some of the country's finest examples of interior decorative painting. Listed as a
National Historic Landmark, the Wickham House, built by John Wickham, illustrates the lives of one of
Richmond’s most prominent families.
The Museum of the Confederacy has three floors of galleries containing the world's most comprehensive
collection of artifacts, manuscripts, and photographs from the Confederate States of America. Be transported
back in time as you wander past "Stonewall" Jackson's forage cap, J.E.B. Stuart's LeMat pistol, and Robert E.
Lee's field tent. Learn about lesser-known topics like the daily lives of common soldiers, the Confederate Navy,
and art from the period.
The centerpiece of the museum complex is a separate
structure a few yards north of the museum building, across
a shady, peaceful garden. The White House of the
Confederacy was where Confederate President Jefferson
Davis and his family lived from 1861-1865. Visitors today
can tour 11 restored rooms in this early 19th-century
mansion, one of the most richly appointed and historically
accurate sites remaining from this dramatic period in
American history.
