Richmond Stories: Playing Sport, Building Community

Access

About

Sport has always played an important role in Richmond. Huge crowds supported the Farmers and Milkmaids lacrosse teams as they battled against rivals. Horse races were so popular that additional trams had to be scheduled for race days. And it didn’t stop there. More recently in 2010, Richmond hosted speed skating events during the Winter Olympics. The city continues to support sports and build community!

Richmond Stories is a collection of 10 short videos that bring Richmond's history to life through storytelling, archival photos, and modern videography.

Richmond Museum

The Richmond Museum is operated collaboratively by the Richmond Museum Society and City of Richmond. The Museum’s vision is to make the history of Richmond relevant, engaging and accessible.

To support this vision, the Museum collects, documents, researches, preserves, exhibits and interprets objects of historical and cultural significance to the development and history of Richmond.

As storytellers, collectors and educators, our goal is to create moments of wonder and understanding. Our exhibitions tell the many fascinating stories of Richmond; our collections are windows into how we live, past and present; our education programs open minds, young and old; and our work inspires action for a healthy community and planet.
