Spanning ten acres, the Shockoe Project will commemorate pivotal sites such as the Trail of the Enslaved, the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground, Winfree Cottage, the Reconciliation Statue Plaza, Richmond’s First African Burial Ground, the planned Shockoe Institute at Main Street Station, and the future National Slavery Museum. These hallowed grounds are poised to become a multi-faceted space for remembrance, reflection, research, and connection – reclaiming the historical and contemporary narratives of Richmond’s Black experience.
