Ghost Walk


Haunted history
901 Bank Street
(at 9th Street)
Richmond, VA 23219

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.

Other gardens have included those at Maymont and Agecroft, and many of the James River plantations not far from the city. The focus is primarily on the different types of gardens, from formal to themed, but there are tours of many of the homes as well.
