RVA Tour with Debbie (August 5, 2017)

 Debbie and I explored some sights in Richmond for seven hours on August 5. We stopped at some of the forts along Highway five....which there are a number of. This photo of her was taken at Fort Gilmer. We also toured Fort Harrison, Fort Hoke and viewed a number of the others. They made up part of the defense line for Richmond during what turned out to be the closing days, and closing battles of the Civil War for the Army of Northern Virginia.

We also went to Malvern Hill which was part of the Seven Days Battles, This was a series of battles to capture Richmond. This failed though the Union had many successful engagements such as this one.  

We also went to see Agecroft, which is located in a neighborhood in Richmond. It was brought over from England and reassembled, The manor was originally built in the 1500's. Next door to it is the almost as old (1600's) Virginia House, also brought over from England.
This is not all we saw but just a sample. All of this she had never seen as well as many other sights to be explored in this most amazing city and surrounding area.
