"A Monumental Premiere" Historic Richmond Foundation was excited to bring you a special evening of film, food, and festivities at Monumental Church on Friday, October 7, 2005. The first screening of the documentary “Saving Grace: Resurrecting American History” took place, along with the unveiling of the Monument replica. The documentary highlighted the Richmond Theatre fire, Monumental Church, and the Monument Replication Project. The evening was a great success. The event raised funds which will benefit the preservation and education efforts of Historic Richmond Foundation. See photos of the evening below: photos by Donnie Goodrich Photography
