Virginia Capital Trail:
Virginia Capital Trail and Richmond Canal Walk:
In Richmond, the Capital Trail follows the Richmond Dock portion of the James River and Kanawha Canal from Great Ship Lock Park to the floodwall at 17th Street. On the other side of the floodwall, the trail connects to the Canal Walk, which continues to 5th Street and the American Civil War Center at the Tredegar Iron Works. Historical markers guide the way.
Richmond Slave Trail:
You can also follow the Slave Trail, which chronicles the history of the trade of enslaved Africans from Africa to Virginia until 1775, and away from Virginia, especially Richmond, to other locations in the Americas until 1865. |
