About

Join us for a special dog-friendly tour of Scott’s Addition, presented in collaboration with the Richmond SPCA! Originally named for General Winfield Scott, this early-20th century commercial and industrial area contains what is perhaps Richmond’s best selection of Art Deco and Moderne commercial architecture. Dig into the history behind this popular Richmond district, now a booming residential neighborhood.

History Hounds Walking Tours are made possible through the partnership between the Valentine and the Richmond SPCA. Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines, mix well with others (both human and canine) and remain on a leash. Pet guardians are responsible for water and cleaning up after their dogs.
Advanced tickets are required. Tickets are non-refundable.
Please note that this tour is 1.5 to 2 miles in length. We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes, use a non-extendable leash for your dog, bring water, a bowl and bags for pickup.
Accessibility: People of all abilities are encouraged to join us. If we can do anything to accommodate your needs, please let us know in advance by emailing tours@thevalentine.org.
Tours are held rain or shine. However, in extreme weather, a tour may be cancelled. Notifications about tour status and cancellation will be sent to registrants via email. You can also call 804-649-0711 x 301 to verify a tour will take place.
The Valentine’s walking tours are supported in part through a generous partnership with Richmond Region Tourism and Richmond SPCA.
