There's no question that Edgar Allan Poe was one of the world's most notable authors. His legacy and life are remembered in Richmond's Edgar Allan Poe Museum. See some of Poe's personal effects, first editions as well as the world's largest collection of original Poe manuscripts. All of these compelling pieces help give a more focused picture of one of the world's most enigmatic literary masters.

Instead of taking the family out to a movie or the mall, why not opt for an evening of great live theater? You won't have to go far to find quality entertainment when you make Theatre IV your destination. This is the second largest children's theater in the nation in attendance, and that distinction only drives this nonprofit, professional theater to continue to excel in its performances.

Buddy's is actually the perfect name for this bar, as you will more than likely be "buddies" with several of the people here because of both the venue's popularity and its unusually small size. Actually, this popular under-30s crowd watering hole is five times longer than it is wide, so you will press the flesh quite a bit, even if you are just heading to the bar. Buddy's serves a light menu early in the evening, but if you wait until later to try and get in, you might be facing at least a 15-minute wait outside. Then again, you might make a new "buddy" before you even enter the bar!
