The
day
after
my
wedding,
my
husband,
best
friend,
and
her
boyfriend
were
looking
for
something
low
key
to
do
in
the
area
before
dropping
them
off
at
Richmond
airport.
The
four
of
us
were
practically
delirious
with
exhaustion
from
the
day
before
and
not
sure
what
to
expect
from
this
tour
that
came
up
when
we
googled
βthings
to
do
in
Petersburg.β
It
ended
up
being
really
lovely!!
The
house
is
beautiful
and
our
tour
guide
was
extremely
knowledgeable
and
came
across
as
genuinely
interested
in
the
history
of
the
house
and
its
inhabitants.
We
werenβt
very
interesting
guests,
Iβm
afraid,
but
very
much
enjoyed
ourselves.
Our
only
complaint
is
the
cursory
attention
to
the
enslaved
workers
on
the
estate
in
the
antebellum
period,
although
we
understand
that
specific
information
on
that
subject
is
likely
extremely
scarce.
Still,
a
general
history
of
the
experiences
of
enslaved
people
in
the
Petersburg
area
at
the
time
would
have
been
really
interesting.
Overall,
I
would
definitely
recommend
this
tour
if
you
enjoy
architecture,
19th
century
micro-histories,
or
want
to
know
more
about
the
history
of
the
Petersburg,
VA
area.
