Richmond embraces its history, and we’ve got the museums and monuments to prove it.

e’re big on rehabilitating our buildings. Grace Street is a prime example of Richmond’s aggressive push to breathe new life into these dilapidated spaces, replacing them with modern eateries, trendy apartments and condominiums, and stylish performance spaces. We’ve been setting trends for hundreds of years. Did you know Richmond was the home of the nation’s first electric trolley system? Today, we’re the home of tech start-ups, cutting edge medical centers, award-winning breweries and cideries, farm-to-table restaurants, upscale shopping malls and one-of-a-kind boutiques, state-of-the-art museums, farmers markets, and we’re a go-to location for filmmakers – yes, we’re talking about “Lincoln.” We’re the place to do business. Several Fortune 1000 companies are headquartered in Richmond. We’re home to six top-notch universities: University of Richmond in the West End, Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia Union University in the North Side, Virginia State University in Petersburg and Virginia Commonwealth University in The Fan. More students are staying put upon graduation, contributing to the local community in monumental ways. We’re big on culture. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) in the
Museum District attracts visitors from near and far, bringing in worldclass exhibitions such as pop artist Tom Wesselmann, glass sculptor Dale Chihuly and Hollywood Costume, which premiered in the U.S. at VMFA. Add to that VCUarts, at the No. 1 public university for arts and design in the country, that’s producing some of the best-of-the-best in the art world. And the art doesn’t stop there. We’re ranked as one of the most tatted cities in the U.S. Sorry, Mom.
Growing. Eclectic. Thriving. These are the words to describe Richmond today.
We’ve got a river – the James River – that runs right through the middle of our downtown. How many cities can say that? The development of commerce in and around Richmond has everything to do with the James River. Not to mention, its waters attract thrill-seekers from across the country. Our population is healthy and active, and we’re the site for popular road races – Monument Avenue 10k and Anthem Marathon, for example – in addition to bike races and other outdoor events. Students. Entrepreneurs. Executives. Young professionals. Artists. Politicians. They all live and work here. Thanks to such a diverse population, the Richmond market acts much bigger than its true size.
