Most historic statues located on Monument Avenue, also fastantic homes, during house and garden week some homes are open to tour, usually worth the money.
A tour of Monument Avenue is a must for any visitor to Richmond. The history of all the monuments is a sight to see. The homes that line the Avenue are beautiful
A walk down Monument Avenue is a trip back in time. The homes are architecturally fantastic. The monuments are true works of art.
This is a must see drive when in Richmond. You will see statues of most noted Virginians, mostly from the Civil War era, but with others also,noted. Besides the statues, the architecture is a trip through the 19th & early 20th century.
Monument Avenue has an ambiance all it's own. Have you ever been on any other avenue or road where there are huge monuments in the middle of the road? I find these monuments absolutely fascinating. The monuments and history of them are so worth the walk and or drive.
If you want to know your history, this is indeed the place to visit. Fantastic statuary abounds. It also helps that the architecture of the surrounding houses compliments the look. Definitely worth a visit.
Lived just above the Boulevard at Matthew Maury Circle so I spent many hours on Monument. Love the homes and true avenue feel of this national treasure. You should see it at Christmas.
These homes are over 100 years old. They are huge, beautiful and wonderfully built! Easter on Parade is an awesome event as well as the monument 10K
As Gertrude Stein might have said about our city " there is no there there." It's quite true we haven't a center. But monument avenue is an amazing axis filled with roundabouts , statues and world class architecture. One can actually travel from post civil war Itlaianate houses to the early 20 th century colonial revival houses on this famous boulevard. William Bottomley and Duncan Lee designs are plentiful - a drive along this avenue is a history lesson itself. It is the best of the best!
Beautiful monuments honoring heroes of the Civil War. As you ride you also get to see very nice houses reflecting the style of the period when they were built.
