If you are in the mood for spooky fun, search for ghosts on the Richmond Ghost Walk. This guided tour approaches local sites of reported supernatural activity in a light-hearted way. The stories and legends associated with the Capitol Building, the Governor's Mansion and other historic locations are a little eerie but will not keep you awake or make you wide-eyed with fear. The walk covers 1 1/2 miles and lasts 90 minutes. Reservations are required. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An elaborate tree, an elegant setting |
101 West Franklin St Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 788 8000 / +1 800 424 8014 http://www.jefferson-hotel.com/ |
A few days before the official illumination of Richmond on December 1, the Jefferson Hotel lights its magnificent tree. Although the tree at the Executive Mansion draws more onlookers when first lit, the Christmas tree at the Jefferson is more elaborate and, in many ways, more impressive. Joyous music of the holiday season fills the ornate lobby. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
