The city of Richmond carries a legacy tethered to the formation of the United States of America.

Many of our founding fathers spent time in Richmond, but it also played a key role in the Atlantic slave trade. A part of that legacy is still visible today.

Along the banks of the James River, you’ll find a well-worn path with a painful past.

The Richmond Slave Trail is a winding two-and-half-mile route from the historic Manchester docks to the old slave auction houses in Shockoe Bottom.
