Segway of Richmond's 2 hour Church Hill Segway Tour is one of the most popular tours the company offers.

Among the highlights you will see and learn about are Libby Hill-beautiful views of the river and where our city was named in the early 1700s; the Masonic Lodge -oldest continuing operating lodge in the country where both George Washington and Lafayette visited in the 1700s; the Adam Craig House- old, beautiful and historic; St. John’s Church-where Patrick Henry gave his famous “Give me liberty or give me death” speech in 1775 both igniting and ensuring the Revolutionary War. Richmond is second only to New Orleans in the country in the amount of ironworks and fencing. Learn about Richard Adams, one of the wealthiest Richmonders at that time, why he bought every piece of land on Church Hill in the late 1700s and why his friendship with his best friend, Thomas Jefferson, terminated abruptly. Learn about Church Hill resident Elizabeth van Lew and why she was so hated by the South and who her famous daughter was and why! Learn which Church Hill former resident was behind both the inspiration and tragedy of one of of Edgar Allen Poe's moist famous poems
