Join us for a special dog-friendly tour of Scott’s Addition, presented in collaboration with the Richmond SPCA! Originally named for General Winfield Scott, this early-20th century commercial and industrial area contains what is perhaps Richmond’s best selection of Art Deco and Moderne commercial architecture. Dig into the history behind this popular Richmond district, now a booming residential neighborhood.

• History Hounds Walking Tours are made possible through the partnership between the Valentine and the Richmond SPCA. Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines, mix well with others (both human and canine) and remain on a leash.
