Overview

Join us for haunting tales of Richmond's Court End neighborhood on a guided walking tour. Take in a unique urban landscape where historic and modern Richmond come together in dramatic fashion, with historic homes, medical buildings, museums, and more. See the home of America's most renowned Supreme Court Chief Justice and hear about the tragic tales that have resulted in hauntings within the historic house.

Learn about a grim resurrectionist who terrified the community in the 1800s and continues to frighten medical students in an architecturally stunning Egyptian building. Move through the neighborhood and learn how the regal historic structures and gleaming veneers of modern Richmond belie the tumultuous and eerie history that remains just below the surface.
