The Valentine is again participating in the Time Travelers admission-free weekend! The Richmond Region’s most renowned historic sites will offer visitors a “Passport” to time-travel on September 23 and 24. Tourists and locals alike are invited to discover the area’s treasures, spanning 400 years of fascinating history and including the homes of John Marshall, Jefferson Davis, John Wickham, Major James Dooley and other important Virginians. Each site will offer complimentary admission to visitors who show a Time Travelers Passport (click to download). Passport holders during the Time Travelers Weekend also will have the chance to win prizes. Visitors may register to win at any of the historic sites, and will be entered to win prizes featuring items from each of the participating sites’ gift shops.
