Sightseeing
Not to be missed is a trip to the Virginia State Capitol, home to the oldest legislature in continuous operation in the western hemisphere. The Virginia General Assembly has been meeting in this building designed by Thomas Jefferson since 1788. It was the very first structure in the New World, built in the Monumental Classical style and has been the inspiration for many other capitols, courthouses, government structures, and all sorts of other buildings. It’s truly a gem in the heart of downtown Richmond.

A tour of Richmond is not complete without a visit to Maymont, an impressive area covering 100 acres of land. The grounds feature an elaborate mansion built during the Gilded Age toward the end of the 19th century, Japanese and Italian gardens, and a nature center and children’s farm that together are home to hundreds of animals. James and Sallie Dooley, who lived here between 1893 and 1925, gave the estate to the city as a gift so future generations could enjoy it.
