Maymont is a beautifully preserved estate and garden that is open to the public to enjoy. Donated by James and Sallie Dooley, the estate, which stands as an expression of Gilded Age luxury and opulence, features the magnificent Maymont Mansion, elaborate Japanese and Italian gardens, a nature and wildlife center, and a children’s farm. Begin with a visit to Robin’s Nature & Visitor Center where you will find a wealth of information about the history of the estate, the gardens, and the other delights to experience.

Then take a stroll through the manicured gardens, which are home to beautiful Italian, Japanese, and Specialty Gardens, as well as a gorgeous arboretum. Explore the local wildlife at the Nature Center or at the unique Children’s Farm where you can pet a goat or enjoy a picnic on the lawn.
