Rails & Sails History Tour

Walk with us though Richmond’s oldest neighborhoods, as we highlight the ports, canals and railroads that helped contribute to Richmond’s rise. Hear the tales behind numerous infrastructure landmarks, and also hear the stories of some of the people who are tied to these locations as well.
Many of the railways and waterways are still in place and active, but numerous sites that have been lost to time will also be talked about.
The impact that Richmond's Rails & Sails have had on the road to modern Richmond cannot be overstated, and we hope to leave you with an idea of how we got here today.
Tours will go rain or shine.
