Canal Walk
To really get a lay of the land, head over to the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar to start your Canal Walk along the Haxall and Kanawha canals of the James River. This one-and-a-half mile self-guided walk will take you through 400 years of Richmond history by way of medallions, exhibits, and monuments set up periodically along the way. Not only will the experience be educational, but the views from the waterfront make the trek worth it.
