Richmond's finest preserved Colonial plantation estate! Built for the Randolph family in 1753, Wilton has survived two wars, the ownership of six families, and a complete relocation in the 1930s. Stop by for a tour of the home and experience our brand-new virtual reality exhibit, or simply enjoy our beautiful terraced grounds overlooking the James River.

Wilton House Museum

We’re a community of runners, hikers, bikers and ballplayers. We’re an outdoor playground, designed by Mother Nature, with class III and IV rapids running right through our downtown. A 52-mile bike trail runs along the James. The Richmond Marathon and Ukrop’s 10k are huge celebrations, and the whole region comes out to cheer on our local teams. In fact, we’re so sports-minded that the Washington Redskins have their training camp right in the center of the city. Add to that awesome hotels, beautiful venues, attractions, art, craft beer, more than 900 restaurants and a convenient location, and you’ve got a top choice for your next sports event. Welcome to RVA!

From indoor to outdoor facilities, the Richmond region has the fields, pitches, diamonds, venues and the dedicated staff to ensure your event is a huge success.

The relatively flat and heavily vegetated Williams Island is in the middle of the James River, across from the 2-acre park, Riverside Meadow Greenspace. There are two distinctly different channels to the north and south of the island and both are blocked by dams, built to help divert water into the city’s purification plant. The island has always been a popular fishing spot and there are worn foot paths through the wild underbrush all around the island, most likely “maintained” and shared by a combination of fisherman and wildlife. Williams Island has been home to black bears and, at one time, an albino deer. Other animals include raccoons, muskrat, skunk and wild turkey. The general public is allowed to visit the island and when water levels of the James are low, people can often reach the island more easily by rock hopping.

There is a 2-acre grassy parcel about a half-mile west of Pony Pasture on Riverside Drive called Riverside Meadow Greenspace. It’s a small but attractive part of the James River Park. It’s common to see outdoors groups like Riverside Outfitters and True Timber Tree Service launching rafts and climbing trees there. Richmond Fire Department units practice rescues from the meadow. It’s a great setting for instruction in an area where public real estate is tough to come by. It’s also common to see people set up chairs, blankets and even grills and settle in for the day here. The area is well-attended by walkers, joggers, bikers, bird-watchers, fisherman and especially paddlers. Since the Z-Dam is connected to Riverside Meadow and Williams Island across the river, one can often find kayakers surfing in the powerful notch in the dam. The view of the James and Pony Pasture Rapids from the meadow is beautiful and a big draw for the little park. The patient wildlife watcher will find bald eagles, otters, osprey and great blue herons in this area. The mix of calm water to the left, rapids to the right and tall trees along both sides shorelines creates a rich mix of habitats, according to park signage at the Z-Dam.

Our customers tell us that just a single spoonful of Gelati Celesti is indescribably good. Rich, decadent, creamy goodness. Perhaps even teetering on transcendental. A moment of pure joy. What makes our ice cream so heavenly? We pride ourselves on offering an exceptional product with the very best flavor possible. Our ice cream tastes exactly how great ice cream should taste—pure, fresh and natural. Each batch of Gelati Celesti ice cream is made by hand with only the finest ingredients from around the world. Flavors are churned in small batches using special Italian equipment. The micro-batch process allows us to care for and consider each scoop of ice cream that we serve. The hand-crafted process may take longer, but we think it makes our ice cream that much better. And our proprietary process minimizes the air whipped into our product, making it uniquely flavorful, thick and creamy, and flat out special.
