Educator Open House

Explore all of Maymont’s new educational field investigation offerings at an Educator Open House. This fall, Maymont opens an exciting new chapter in educational field investigations for Richmond-area teachers, introducing new learning spaces, programs, hands-on experiences and interactive learning tools to enrich environmental science, history and social studies.

Teachers of all grade levels from K – 12 in public, private or home schools are welcome.
