There’s news on the TSCOR travel front. Unfortunately the trip to Abingdon, VA, has been cancelled, but there’s a new trip on the horizon!

Think you know all there is to know about Richmond? Maybe not. Come take the “Re-Discover Richmond” tour. From Monument Avenue through the museum district; Franklin street past the Lee House and the Capitol building; Church Hill, Shockoe Bottom and a guided tour of the Virginia War Memorial, you’ll see old familiar places and learn new things about them. The tour concludes with lunch on your own in Shockoe Slip. Our tour guide, Ken Chandler, has 30 years experience with Richmond Discoveries, Inc., the oldest tour and educational company in Richmond. Y’all come now, ya hear?
