Thursday, October 2 and Friday, October 3
October 2nd, 1925 in Richmond started like most other days, but it would go down leaving a permanent scar on the community’s mind and landscape.
We will mark 100 years since the collapse of the Church Hill Train Tunnel with a series of “give-what-you-wish” mini-tours. Tours will start at Richbrau Brewing Company and proceed to the west end of the tunnel, sharing the history of the tunnel and the urban legend of the Richmond Vampire that came in the decades that followed.
Tours will be 45-50 minutes, round-trip from Richbrau Brewing. The first tour will be at 6:30PM, with tours leaving every 20-30 minutes until 8:00PM, on both October 2nd and October 3rd. Tour availability is first come, first served. Space will be limited and we are not accepting reservations. Check in with the Haunts of Richmond table upon arrival to register.
Select merchandise will be available for sale, including books about the train tunnel collapse and the Richmond Vampire. Local author Sharon Pajka will be in attendance with her new book, Haunted Virginia Cemeteries, featuring Richmond’s Hollywood Cemetery and the Vampire legend.
