Came late in the day, only had a short time to visit. We didn't know that you could purchase a map. We wandered around and found Jefferson Davis' grave by accident. We like to visit cemeteries and wished we had a map and more time to explore .

I have been there a few times and never get to see the whole thing. Its really big! every time I go there I discover something new. All sorts of history, myths, and tall tales of the past. if you happen to be in Richmond and are wondering what to do, you should diffidently check it out. I think there... More

The hillside burial place of Jeff Davis, James Monroe, John Tyler, and many other notable Virginians, overlooking Richmond. The collection of graves, tombs, and monuments is fascinating to see. It is just a few blocks from the American Civil War Center, and worth driving through.

It rained the day we were there otherwise we would have taken the guided tour. However we purchased a map for $1.00 which was an excellent guide for viewing... More

I would advise driving as it is quite hilly. You can get out of your car when you want to at designated places.

It was 4th of July and a couple requested a wedding ceremony to be performed in the mausoleum. I thought it an odd request until I got there and saw the open mausoleum that spilled out to a grassy knoll with the James River running by it. It was a beautiful sight to behold and the couple had many picnics... More

History and statuary. Three U.S Presidents and the only President of the Confederacy. Overlooks the highest rated canoeable white water rapids east of the Mississippi. Watch the kayaks and canoeists while you picnic.
