I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on Monument Ave during the Easter on Parade celebration. Got to wear my flamingo hat in public! More

I'm a big runner and have run on Monument Ave at least 500 times and that's probably on the low end. If your in Richmond and have a few minutes or a few hours its worth your time to run, walk or drive it. Old & beautiful homes, well landscaped, and lots of statues! More

Some great sculptures all the way up the Avenue. Plan to stop and get out of your car every couple of blocks and take a lot of pix. Just watch out for traffic. More

The best way to see all of the beautiful homes and monuments is to run the 10K. The most fun run in the nation! More

Beautiful avenue surrounded by beautiful trees, gardens and charming houses, not to mention the nice monuments to Virginia heroes, including tennis great Arthur Ashe. Here's where I finally understood that "Virginia is for Lovers" slogan! Definitively, Richmond, a place to love! More

Wow. This was my favorite attraction of Richmond. I thoroughly enjoyed driving down the road and looking at all the beautiful home and fabulous monuments. You have to get out a walk some as well. Just driving through...it goes too quickly. More

Beautiful and historic. Definatley worth a detour if just passing through Richmond on the Interstate. Having spent most of my adult life near Monument Avenue, there is still much I need to learn about the statues and the historic homes. There are guided tours avaliable, I probably should take one!
