The Journey
Edgar Allan Poe's Richmond
Delve into the formative years of Edgar Allan Poe in Richmond, Virginia, the city that both nurtured and haunted the celebrated author. Though we won't be stepping inside the Poe Museum, we'll trace his footsteps through the city's historic streets, uncovering the inspirations behind his macabre tales and the tragic loves that fueled his poetic genius. Discover the settings that inspired 'Annabel Lee' and 'The Raven,' and understand how Richmond shaped the mind of one of America's most enduring literary figures.
African Burial Ground (Richmond)
Reflect upon the poignant history of the rediscovered African Burial Ground in Richmond. This sacred site, once lost to time, now serves as a powerful memorial to the enslaved Africans who lived, labored, and died in this city. Walk the grounds and contemplate the resilience and enduring spirit of a people whose contributions were once deliberately erased from history. Experience a profound connection to the past and honor the memory of those who rest here.
Devil's Half Acre
Confront the stark reality of 'Devil's Half Acre,' a name that chills the blood and evokes the unimaginable horrors of Richmond's slave trade. Once the site of the most notorious slave jail in the United States, this ground whispers tales of unimaginable cruelty, suffering, and dehumanization. Stand on this hallowed ground and reflect on the darkest chapter of American history, and the human capacity for both evil and resilience.
