Course: West by Water: Richmond's James River and Kanawha Canal (OSH-PXWESTWAT)

Join Valentine museum staff for a guided tour of West by Water: Richmond's James River and Kanawha Canal. Featuring photographs from Richmond photographer John Henley and descriptions from writer Harry Kollatz, Jr., the exhibit explores the city's historic canal system, which even after two centuries remains elusive and mysterious to resident and visitor alike. Go behind the scenes on the development of the exhibit and the broader history of canal infrastructure in the early-19th century, as well as its ultimate decline with the arrival of railroads. This tour is offered twice; please register for only one. Note: The new refund policy applies.
