Join us for a special dog-friendly tour of Ginter Park, presented in partnership with The Valentine Museum! Take a walk through this northside neighborhood, a prime example of Richmond’s streetcar suburbs. Learn about Ginter Park’s diverse architectural styles, notable residents like Grace Arents and L. Douglas Wilder, and the history of Chamberlayne Avenue as a tourist corridor.
