Richmond Slave Trail
Observe the history of Richmond's slaves when you walk from the Manchester Docks down the Slave Trade path along the James River, past former slave auction houses in cobblestoned Shockoe Bottom and Lumpkin's Jail. Free booklets for a 1.3-mile self-guided walk are available from the city park system. You can also join in the annual freedom celebration Juneteenth, held during one weekend in June.
