walking tours

The Richmond Museum is excited to present free self-guided walking tours.
Join us to see the city through new eyes

Our new historic walking tours will take you back in time to meet early farmers and artists, feel the pulse of roaring crowds at the horse racetrack, smell the fishy action of clanging canneries, and hear the humming busyness of our rich, diverse wetlands. It’s all there, once you know what to look for!

In the early days of settlement, the island’s flat delta landscape and closeness to the Gulf of Georgia made it ideal for farms and fish canneries. Time: 1-2 hours.
