Going Northbound, I eventually reached Richmond. Not long ago, I had passed through this Southern mainstay on my way to another destination. At that time I was intrigued by the mix of items I found and decided that further investigation was called for whenever I might return.

On this pass, I still didn't get my fill, but I did get an expanded view of Richmond's offerings. For being a town of moderate size, Richmond seems to be packed with ennumerable details. I suppose that's what you get when you have been around as long as this place has. Richmond's treasures seem to cover the entire history of its existence.

There are ornate buildings and monuments from the past as well as art and architecture from today. Driving around the business hub I was particularly taken by an old stone building that turned out to be the railway depot. I worked my way towards it and located a parking spot near the farmer's market.
