Richmond County, Virginia
Richmond County lies in Virginia’s Northern Neck, bordered by the Rappahannock River. It’s not the Richmond you’re thinking of. That’s a different place entirely. This is rural Virginia at its finest.
The county’s history runs deep, with Native American settlements dating back thousands of years. Menokin, the crumbling home of a Declaration of Independence signer, is a must-see. It’s part ruin, part architectural experiment.
Warsaw, the county seat, is small but lively. The Rappahannock River National Wildlife Refuge is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Oyster farming is making a comeback in the county’s creeks and rivers. You can taste the difference. Richmond County’s flat terrain makes it popular with cyclists.
