Interesting place to visit and explore the history of the role of Richmond in the Civil War. The setting of the museum on the bank of the James River is delightful; it's a step away from a foot bridge that will take you across the river to a Civil War prisoner-of-war camp and "Rock City" where people bask on large rocks and cool off in the water that's pooled between them.

Interesting concept of a prix-fixe menu using locally sourced ingredients. This restaurant is different from any other restaurant in Richmond. Reservations are necessary as they only serve during specific times of the day around communal tables offering a 6 course dinner of unique dishes from farm to table. Wednesday nights is knit-night. Fun fact, the owner, Sariann, is the author of The OFFICIAL Game of Thrones cookbook. Go eat at The Broken Tulip and get the cookbook signed by the celebrity author herself!
