The Valentine – Richmond’s Local History Museum
The Valentine museum is like many things in Richmond for me, it’s a place I’d heard of, though I didn’t know its precise location and I knew at some point I should get around to checking it out.

I’ve tried actual surfing before and it consisted of me getting smacked in the face with waves and falling down a...
