Time travelers, rejoice!
Explore to your heart's content at this annual city-wide open house of Richmond's stately historic sites. Each March, the notable museums and historic homes of Richmond throw open their doors to the public for a weekend of free admission. For two whole days, you can use your passport to gain entry into some of the most interesting, significant landmarks in the city.
Some of the venues will have costumed actors to provide tours while others are more fun to walk through yourself. If you have any questions about the weekend's offerings, call each location beforehand.
