Richmond, Kentucky is a place where the past is not simply preserved; in Richmond, we continue telling stories of our history. Visitors can walk the ground of both Revolutionary and Civil War history, tour storied historic homes and explore our walkable downtown with a self-guided walking tour map. From landmark sites with nationally significant stories to locally treasured places passed down through time, Richmond’s history is woven into its streets, architecture, and our community members. Through our museums, historic district, and heritage events happening year-round, we are dedicated to our history, and we hope our visitors engage in our history while they are experiencing Richmond.
