Statues & Monuments

View Larger Map

One of the most interesting and fun projects I did for the Discover Richmond website was taking pictures for slideshows of Richmond’s statues and monuments. Kathy Albers was a researcher and historian for the Richmond Times-Dispatch for many years and brought this to me.  I loved the scavenger hunt mentality I developed from projects like this and the history I’ve learned as a result. Thank you Kathy!
