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.

Join us for a screening of “Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown,” the latest installment in the documentary film series “Historic Homes of Virginia.” This documentary features Professor Michael Spencer and experts from Preservation Virginia to examine Scotchtown during Henry’s years there, including the notes he wrote for his famous “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech, original construction details, the lives of the enslaved people who lived and worked there and how historic Mutual Assurance policies helped guide the property’s restoration.

  
About the series: Virginia’s historic homes reveal their stories through both architecture and the records left behind. For more than two centuries, Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia policies have documented many of these properties, preserving details that can help historians and preservationists understand how they changed over time. The film series “Historic Homes of Virginia” brings those records together with the people, places and stories that shaped some of the Commonwealth’s most significant homes.  
This program is presented in partnership with Mutual Assurance, which produced the series.

This is a free event, but registration is required. For more information, contact education@lva.virginia.gov.
