Synopsis

Welcome to Virginia, the Old Dominion State. Virginia is for lovers . . . and also for the lovers of the unusual. With its rich, extensive history and deep ties to notable famous figures, Virginia is a treasure trove of bizarre, wonderful, and obscure locations just waiting to be discovered. Get lost in the Great Channels of Virginia, become awestruck by the famous Natural Bridge, or get lost in time on Tangier Island. We will explore the unsettling remnants of several wars, from a cave in Yorktown that British General Cornwallis was said to hide in during the Revolutionary War to the grave site of Stonewall Jackson's severed arm. We will see an artistically phenomenal love of dinosaurs at Dinosaur Kingdom II in Natural Bridge and Dinosaurland up north near Winchester before following in the footsteps of Edgar Allan Poe through Richmond, Virginia. From wondrous natural phenomenon to historical marvels to strange and unique museums, there are so many weird, wonderful, and obscure places to explore in Virginia. Join your guides Malorie and Michael as they take you from the coastal shores of Virginia Beach all the way to the border of Kentucky, showcasing the wonders that the Old Dominion has to offer.
