Flights from Boston to Richmond (BOS to RIC)

Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. It is situated on the James River in the central part of the state and is famous for its indispensable role in the American Civil War. Richmond served as the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War and was the scene of several battles during a period of five years when the Civil War was at its peak. Richmond was burnt to ground by the retreating Confederate Army, thus destroying most of its architectural and historical buildings. The remaining ones and the ones that were reconstructed today tell a beautiful story of that bygone era and all that the city has braved through.
