Hotels in Midlothian

Wander through the historic ruins of Mid-Lothian Mines Park, where coal mining history comes alive along peaceful walking trails. The area holds the distinction of America's first commercial coal mining operation, a fact Thomas Jefferson would appreciate - his White House was heated with local coal. Golfers can tee off at championship courses while families battle for bowling supremacy at Uptown Alley. River City Sportsplex draws competitive teams, but locals know Robious Landing Park offers quieter James River access. Racing enthusiasts can catch the action at nearby Richmond Raceway or the more intimate Southside Speedway. The sprawling suburbs hide surprising history beneath their modern veneer, with the original 18th-century village now engulfed by Richmond's westward expansion.
