Calendar

Join us for Quoit Club's June event: a guided tour of Richmond's slave trail. Quoit Club will meet at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday June 10th at Henry "Box" Brown Plaza at Kanawha Canal, at 15th and Dock Streets. From there we'll trace the north bank path taken by many of the imported slaves upon their arrival and entry into Virginia. Our stops traveling north up 15th Street will feature recently discovered auction houses, the reconciliation statue, the infamous site of Lumpkin’s Jail, and conclude with a visit to the Negro Burial Ground. After the walk, we will return south a few blocks for a reception at 7:30 at Rosie Connelly’s Pub in Shockoe Bottom. Appetizers and a complimentary drink ticket will be provided.

Please wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate attire, and consider bringing a bottle of water for the walk, which will probably take us about 8 blocks.

Street parking or paid parking is available at many of the nearby parking lots, including public parking in-between our starting and finishing location at Main Street Station Public Parking. Please call Historic Richmond Foundation at (804) 643-7407 for more information on parking.

The cost of the event for non-members is $15 per person.
