St. John's Episcopal Church is the Church Hill landmark where Virginia's second revolutionary convention met in 1775 and Patrick Henry gave his "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. The church is still active, but it is also one of Richmond's most important Revolutionary War-era sites.
The visit is short and pairs naturally with a walk through Church Hill, one of Richmond's oldest neighbourhoods, where the street grid, brick houses, and views over the James River still give a strong sense of the colonial city.
