RICHMOND’S CHURCH HILL

Land of Patrick Henry and architectural eye candy

Oh, if these cobblestoned streets could talk. Church Hill is home to St. John's Church, where Patrick Henry gave his famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. The whole area is a historic district, with antebellum homes like nowhere else. And the views. Wow. Tucked in between all this history are some of Richmond’s hottest restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops, and a wood-fired bakery that makes highly acclaimed bread and pastries from grain that is milled in-house. Must-sees: Sub Rosa Bakery, The Hill Café, Proper Pie, Libby Hill Park  and Chimborazo Park.
