Maymont is a 100-acre green space in the heart of Richmond, Virginia. We welcome everyone to explore our spectacular Gilded Age mansion, beautiful curated gardens, immersive nature center, interactive farm and rescued animal habitats—and to find moments of wonder while you wander our rolling hills.

Themed “Run of the River,” discover remarkable ecology of the James River. The experience also emphasizes the natural history of the area and environmental stewardship opportunities for the community.

Maymont's gardens are like nothing else in Central Virginia—expansive, unique, well-maintained and ever-changing. No public garden today could dream of duplicating Maymont’s magic, to say nothing of its costly architecture, grand trees or diversity of plants. Explore the Italian Garden, Japanese Garden, the Arboretum, and several specialty gardens.

A well-preserved document of Gilded Age design, the mansion illustrates the dynamic interplay between server and served, working class and upper class, through a compelling exhibition, In Service and Beyond. After a two-year preservation project, the mansion has reopened and is now offering tours.

The Maymont Farm offers hands-on animal encounters and insight into farm life. Children and adults alike are delighted by the crow of a rooster, the feel of a sheep’s wool and the nudge of a hungry goat.

Walk on the wild side along Maymont's 40-acre valley Virginia Wildlife Trail, home to Virginia native species (historic and present), most of which are wildlife rescues. The trail reopens on May 2, 2026, after major enhancements and 2 new species. The bison habitat remains viewable, near The Robins Nature Center.
