Itinerary
Rosie Connolly's Pub is housed in a historic structure that had housed the Railroad YMCA and is situated in what was formerly known as the "red light district" of the city. Try a drink and be aware that it may have been poured with the assistance of additional ghostly hands.
The fact that so many businesses have failed after moving into Richmond's oldest commercial building has prompted some to think that it is cursed. Learn about Daniel Denoon, who is rumored to haunt the structure. Smith and Foundry, located in the building, offers African wines for tasting.
This structure, one of the world's oldest Masonic lodges still in operation, used as a hospital during the War of 1812. Even doubters have been persuaded by the paranormal activity in this building.
The Edgar Allan Poe Museum, which honors the author's time in Richmond and is located close to his house and place of employment, is housed in the city's oldest standing structure. Poe's ghost has reportedly been seen in numerous locations throughout the house. This could be because of his attachment to some of his personal items.
Discover the background of beer in the US. Try some of the house brew here after the history lesson.
This old church, which was the first one to be built in Richmond, has over the years witnessed numerous catastrophes. Find out more about the four ghosts alleged to prowl the cemetery and church.
Over 300 troops died in this facility, which served as a hospital during the Civil War and was formerly a tobacco store. Find out more about the ghosts that unavoidably remain in this place.
Try the Farmhouse Dry Cider and get a taste of what colonists consumed every day. Simply be aware that it could not just be the booze if you notice anything out of the corner of your eye.

About Richmond
Richmond is the capital of Virginia, a historic city on the James River with a Jefferson-designed Capitol, Civil War history and whitewater in town.
Richmond is the capital of Virginia, set at the falls of the James River where the coastal plain meets the Piedmont. Thomas Jefferson designed the State Capitol, which was modelled on a Roman temple in France and completed in the 1780s. St John's Church on Church Hill is where Patrick Henry made his speech of 1775 demanding liberty or death. Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and its museums and battlefields tell that history.
Top-ranked sights in Richmond: Carytown, The Poe Museum, White House of the Confederacy.
