Poor Farm Park

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.

We love great food— and we're pretty sure you do too. Our pride shows in the slow cooked smoked barbecue and brisket, the care and love in the Yohman's Fresh Garden Salsa and John's Secret Marinara Sauce. Try our Priddy Burger. It's made proudly in honor of Sumpter Priddy who was crucial part of making Jake's Place a reality. Great food, amazing people and a loving community. That's southern comfortable food.

In recognition of a significant void in the history of African Americans in Hanover County, Carolyn Hemphill along with a group of classmates from then, John M. Gandy High School (the public high school for African Americans during segregation years) decided to dig deeper into the history of African Americans in Hanover County. The Society seeks to uncover and preserve the history of African Americans in Hanover County and to help enrich and promote stronger family and community unity through our historical findings. Our goal is to educate the public by increasing their awareness and appreciation of Hanover’s legacy.
