Maymont was the 100-acre country estate of Major James Henry and Sallie May Dooley. The Dooleys completed their opulent mansion in 1893 and spent the next three decades creating the gardens, landscapes and outbuildings you see today. Maymont now serves as 100-acres of history, habitats and horticulture.

Since 1975, Maymont has been maintained and operated by the private nonprofit Maymont Foundation. Maymont’s indoor exhibits are open Tues. – Sun. from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. For additional information on hours and fees, call 804-358-7166 or click here to visit the web site.
