The overlooked, the forgotten, the extraordinary — one place at a time
An abandoned 1880s Victorian water pumping station on the James, its Romanesque arches sealed and overgrown — a cathedral to the city's thirst, forgotten at the river's edge.
The only place in North America where three railroad lines cross over each other at a single point. Most Richmonders drive past it daily and never look up.
The largest military hospital in the Western Hemisphere treated 76,000 soldiers here. The subtle earthwork scars in the grass are all that remain — if you know where to look.
Short films about the hidden places of Richmond — enough to hook you, not enough to spoil the discovery. Best experienced in the field, standing where it happened.
