Henrico County Invests in Historic Varina | Richmond News

Henrico County is pouring $1.6 million into restoring Varina on the James—a historic 1853 home with Civil War cannonball damage, once the county’s seat and now a National Register treasure. Set to begin in September 2026 and wrap by June 2027, the project will repair brick, replace wood, and rebuild the porch, all while preserving the riverfront for future generations. Bought for $17.25 million, this landmark is a cornerstone of Henrico’s heritage—and the county’s biggest investment yet to safeguard its past.
