 Over 300 years of history |
425 Cockade Alley Petersburg Visitors Center Richmond, VA 23803 United States +1 804 733 2400 http://www.petersburg-va.org |
Because of its proximity to Richmond, Petersburg was a strategic location during the Civil War. A ten-month siege here in 1864 was the turning point of the war and the battlefield is the site of the largest military explosion before the atomic bomb. The Petersburg National Battlefield Park, Blandford Church and the unusual Trapezium House are a few of many attractions in the city. Petersburg is about thirty minutes from Richmond. Take I-95 south into the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of Virginia's oldest churches |
11353 Mt Hermon Rd Richmond, VA 23005 United States +1 804 798 4520 |
This is the oldest frame church in Virginia, erected in 1729, and paid for with 60,000 pounds of tobacco. Patrick Henry's uncle was its rector from 1737-1777. North Carolina troops camped in and around the church in 1862 before the Civil War battle of Hanover Courthouse. This interesting example of colonial architecture is located near Randolph Macon College, Scotchtown and the Ashland Berry Farm. Tours are by appointment only. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Famous phrase was said here |
2401 E Broad St Richmond, VA 23223 United States +1 804 649 7938 http://www.historicstjohnschur... |
It was here that the Virginia Convention of 1775 met to discuss the question of taking arms against the British. Delegates to the Convention included Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Patrick Henry delivered the words "Give me liberty or give me death!" Words so powerful that a man watching through a window declared, upon hearing Henry, that he wished to be buried on that very spot. On the spot he lies, in a sepulcher placed beneath the same window. St. John's is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Virginia. Review © 2007, Wcities |
