Such a large area two hour tours cant due it justice tour wise. This tour covers the area of the city from the Appomattox River to Wythe Street; in doing so it covers hundreds of years of history. This is the oldest part of Petersburg and certainly one not to be missed.

Second only to the "North" tour this covers the area from Wythe Street to the subburb of Walnut Hill. This area saw early developement in the industrial area of the city as well as its early settlement by all classes. This area covers a significant amount of Civil Rights history of the city.

Little known and seldom seen places that held special meaning to veterans of the war and history buffs. This is not just a Nation Park tour; this is back streets and headquarters and scenes of photographs seen in your history books.

Based on a request from a church group based in High Point North Carolina this tour will show you as much of the black history of the city as we can squeeze into a two-hour timeframe. Too much to see in such a short tour!

A real look into the locations that are said to be.......Haunted! This daylight tour allows you to see the location, hear the stories, and determine for yourself if a "night visit" is required.

At last count, Petersburg had 144 active congregations within its city limits. This tour will take you around as many as we can squeeze in two hours, showing off the cultural and historical value of these houses of worship.

This tour is very specific and is not for the weak of kidneys. This eight, (8) hour tour covers the entire battle zone for Petersburg during the American Civil War and covers City Point, Prince George, Dinwiddie, and Chesterfield its BIG!
