Adjacent to the Kensington Bed and Breakfast, the Virginia Historical Society was founded in 1831 to collect, preserve, and interpret the commonwealth's past for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Three blocks away is the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which houses a remarkable permanent collection of more than twenty thousand works of art from almost every major world culture.

We offer complimentary tickets for movies at the Historic Byrd Theatre,  built in 1928 in Richmond, Virginia as one of the Nations’s Grand Movie Palaces and is both a State and National Historic landmark. Today it serves as an anchor for the quaint Carytown shopping district offering second-run movies for $1.99, and a variety of film festivals throughout the year, including the VCU French Film Festival, The Chinese Film Festival, and the James River Film Festival.  And just as in the early days of the Byrd Theatre, you can catch a Saturday night performance of the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ prior to the movie. www.byrdtheatre.com
