WHILE YOU WERENT LOOKING, RVA GOT COOL!!! Richmond, Virginia, United States Once the South was repelled from Gettysburg by the Union, the third year of the Civil War became all about Virginia—in fact, more major fights happened in that state than any other. The year 2014 is the 150th anniversary of many of its biggest battles. In May, the Battle of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania are observed, and in June, the commemoration of the terrible and interminable Siege of Petersburg begins. All of them are within striking distance of Richmond, which was the capital of the Confederacy and is still flush with historic sites and museums devoted to that destructive chapter. But even if you dont care a whit about the war, Richmond is coming into its own as a choice regional destination with a growing slate of breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and even white-water river rapid activities cutting right through downtown.
