Chesterfield Towne Center

Opened in 1975, the Chesterfield Towne Center is a shopping mall nestled in the heart of Richmond, Virginia. It is the biggest shopping center in the city of Richmond and implements an appealing retail line up for the city’s upscale population. The mall is formerly known as the Chesterfield Mall, and during its initial years, the traffic was sluggish, leading to some referring it as the Chesterfield Morgue. After its major remodeling and extension in 1987, the mall added a movie theater, food court, and a lengthy passage parallel to Mall Drive. It has also been renamed as the Chesterfield Towne Center. Several retail stores have also been added.

The city of Petersburgis also an ideal destination for a side trip from Richmond. A range of affordable hotels and accommodations line up the streets outside Chesterfield Towne Center. With a swimming pool and a restaurant, DoubleTree BY Hilton Richmond-Midlothianoffers accommodation with plush bedding and a seating area. Tea and coffee-making facilities are also featured in every room. You can also stay close to some famous landmarks in the region by booking a room at Hampton Inn Richmond-Midlothian Turnpike.Tourists can visit the Virginia Holocaust Museum,a public history museum that is dedicated to depicting the Holocaust. The historic Egyptian Buildingis also an attraction in Richmond. It is a college building and was the first permanent home of the Medical Department of Hampden-Sydney College and is now part of the Virginia Commonwealth University.
