This war memorial is a very small area between the street and boardwalk. The sculpture work is very good. The "remembrance" info about the statues makes you stop and think.

a Richmond Landmark., with a wonderful small museum that chronicles the many wars Va citizens have fought in, worth the stop, very informative and friendly staff

this is just something that i like to visit. so if you are in the area and just want to stretch , nice place to do that

One of the best views of the James and downtown Richmond can be found at the Virginia War Memorial. Built to honor those who have served, the building is a study in understated classical moderne architecture with a brilliant new addition by Glave & Holmes Architecture.

Nice to have a short stroll around the memorial, a view of the James River. A small museum on different period of the wars. Ok, most men like this one because of the weapons displayed. Somehow this war memorial gives you a very serious feel. Easy to get to and park.

The memorial is a beautiful tribute to our fallen heroes. The setting is also spectacular. Our tour was very educational and informative.
