Create walking/biking history tours of Richmond

Submitted by Chris Hardie in Tourism and Marketing

Many cities offer a regularly scheduled walking tour of their historic landmarks and other curious locations. Richmond has many interesting destinations and historic structures located within a few miles of each other in and around the center city.
