Programs
Richmond History Tours (formerly Historic Richmond Tours), a service of the Valentine Richmond History Center, offers a wide variety of guided tours that explore the rich and diverse history of the city. Guided walking tours, specialty bus tours, custom group and school tours and step-on guides are among the services offered by the History Center. The History Center offers over 350 tours each year.
In 1930, the school services program began with a reading room and a loan of children's books. Then in 1968, the Junior Center was chartered to provide educational and cultural experiences for all the children of Richmond. Today, the educational department at the History Center offers a wide range of programs that are compatible with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) requirements. The History Center serves almost 25,000 children a year.
Other specialized programs are available, which include Scout programs, Adult programs and summer programs.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
