Virginia Beach is home to an array of can't miss attractions, including the Virginia Legends Walk. Nestled between Atlantic and Pacific avenues, it celebrates Virginians who have impacted our country and the world. The walk is an easy drive from our apartments in Virginia Beach, and it's the perfect place for an afternoon stroll. Here are some of the people you'll discover during your self-guided tour:
Patsy Cline
Born in Winchester, Patsy Cline is best known for her hit songs "Crazy" and "Walking After Midnight." She taught herself to play the piano around the age of eight and later developed a passion for singing. Patsy became the first woman inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and today her music continues to play around the world.
Arthur Ashe
Hailing from Richmond, Arthur Ashe was the first African American tennis player to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. He first picked up a racquet at seven. In his first tournament, he reached the Junior National Championships. Arthur became the number one tennis player in 1975. In addition, ten years later, he was the first African American inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Meriwether Lewis
Meriwether Lewis was born near Charlottesville in 1774. His family later moved to Georgia, where he explored the countryside and became passionate about natural history. With Meriwether's frontier skills and military service, President Jefferson appointed him to explore the American territory newly acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. Meriwether partnered with William Clark, and today, his journals covering this historic trip are a national treasure.
