The 40-minute, historically narrated tours of the James River and Kanawha Canal operate throughout the season, seven days a week from May through October, and with varying hours in April and November. The boat tours travel along downtown Richmond's Canal Walk and review centuries of Richmond’s history, from Powhatan’s Chiefdom to the first commercially successful electric streetcar in the world, all while traveling in authentically styled boats. Tours depart on the hour from the canal’s Turning Basin at 139 Virginia Street, in Downtown Richmond. Boats can accommodate up to 25 passengers and are handicap accessible. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis at the Turning Basin’s ticket kiosk and online 18 hours in advance by visiting RiverfrontCanalCruises.com. Canal Cruise private charters are also available as one- or two-hour private boat tours that are a favorite for reunions, birthdays, engagements, corporate retreats, churches, clubs, and so many more group outings. Private charters may be scheduled for any day and time during the season but must be reserved a minimum of two weeks in advance at RiverfrontCanalCruises.com.

The Valentine First Freedom Center is located on the same corner where Virginia’s General Assembly met from 1780 to 1788. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1777. Enacted with support from James Madison in 1786, this revolutionary document paved the way for the first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and continues to impact how Virginians and the nation view the free exercise of religion. The First Freedom Center celebrates this important history by exploring the past, present and future of religious freedom in America. Physically connected to the Marriott Residence Inn, guests and visitors can also experience the First Freedom Monument, which includes a 27-foot spire, a limestone wall etched with the enacting paragraph of the Statute and a 34-foot banner featuring a seminal Jefferson quote. The First Freedom Center is open by appointment only.
