Charlottesville gave America three presidents, then demolished one of its most thriving Black neighborhoods. This self-guided walking tour follows both stories through downtown. Walk Three Notched Road, once a Monacan footpath, and find the Paramount Theater entrance that African American patrons had to use until 1964. Trace the edge of Vinegar Hill, razed in 1965, past Mount Zion Baptist Church and the former site of Inge’s Store. Stop at the pedestal where a Lewis and Clark statue, with Sacagawea crouched at their feet, stood until 2021. Hear how Jack Jouett’s midnight ride saved the Virginia legislature, and how Nancy West and David Isaacs defied the state’s marriage laws. The tour ends at the Freedom of Speech Wall, near where Heather Heyer was killed in 2017. Perfect for history lovers and anyone curious how a town reckons with its past.
