Get Started

Hanover, Virginia Details

Hanover County was the birthplace of statesman Patrick Henry who was married to Sarah Shelton. Reportedly, the two married in the historic Shelton House, more formally known as Rural Plains, in 1754. The Shelton House dates back to the 1670s, and it has been used for shelter in the revolutionary and civil war as well as a hospital and school. Rural Plains encompasses roughly 125 acres of open land, and a smaller cottage is known as the “Honeymoon Cottage”, which was used by Patrick Henry and Sarah Shelton after their original residence at Pine Slash was destroyed by fire, is located a mile from the Shelton House. Today, the house is maintained by the Richmond National Battlefield Park, as was the death wish of the last descendant William R. Shelton Jr.

Another historical figure from Hanover is Henry Clay, a Kentucky politician that formed the Whig Party. Born from a family of planters, as was the general population at the time, Clay was born in the Clay Homestead.

Immersive Historical Sites

The Beaver Dam Creek Battlefield is where Gen. Robert E. Lee initiated the Seven Days Campaign on June 26, 1862. Gen. Lee struck Union troops behind Beaver Dam Creek in what resulted in the first of many battles during that campaign. Today, the walking trail on the Beaver Dam Creek Battlefield takes visitors on a historic journey through both Union and Confederate army positions.

Another worthwhile battlefield is the Cold Harbor Battlefield Visitor Center. This battlefield was utilized in another part of the Seven Days Campaign. As a strategic stronghold point, the Cold Harbor Battlefield was the location of the 1862 battle of Gaines’ Mill and the 1864 battle of Cold Harbor. Today, the Cold Harbor Battlefield Visitor Center features an electronic battle map programming that describes both battles.

Lastly, a mentionable historic site is the Ashland Museum, which preserves and documents the physical and cultural history of Ashland. The museum features walking tours and events throughout the month. The historical exhibits shine a light on America’s historical events.

Calvin and Ashley are great! They are the reason we can invest in the area from out of state. They have a great network of individuals to address everything we need. They are quick to respond to our every question and concern. Far superior to our other property managers in two other states, so much that we are liquidating those houses to buy more in Richmond for them to manage. Peace of mind is priceless and that is what we have with Keyrenter Property Management Richmond!
Katrina M., Satisfied Client
From Day One, through move in, Calvin and Ashley have been attentive, super responsive and overall pleasant to deal with through this entire process. My husband and I are renting a beautiful property from them, and we couldn't be more pleased. I would definitely recommend them and they'll be our first call if we decide to rent again!
Tamika T., Satisfied Tenant

My wife and I are new clients of Keyrenter Richmond as of May 2018. The experience has been so far beyond what we expected. We had previously dealt with another company for our rental house and had a totally bad experience. Calvin and Ashley took us on and worked hard to provide a quality client and take care of all our concerns. Nothing was left to chance. They are always easy to contact and return emails and calls promptly. If you have property in the Richmond area you would do well to consider Keyrenter Richmond as your agent.
Barry L., Satisfied Client
The service you get with Ashley and Calvin is truly over the top. I was very nervous having someone manage my property. I relocated to a different country, which makes it very difficult to manage a property from a far, and Ashley and Calvin have really made it the easiest thing ever. I wish I found them years ago.
