Colonial Heights, Richmond Pet-friendly Hotel Hotels
The city of Colonial Heights is directly across the Appomattox River from Petersburg. Of historic interest is the Violet Bank Museum, where General Lee had his headquarters during the Siege of Petersburg in 1864. General Lafayette was also headquartered here during an artillery bombardment on Petersburg in 1781. Swift Creek Mill, built in 1663, is possibly the oldest grist mill in the U.S.
