Maymont is a historic estate and public park located in Richmond, Virginia. Spanning over 100 acres, it features a beautifully preserved Gilded Age mansion, lush gardens, a nature center, and a variety of animal exhibits. The estate was once the home of James and Sallie Dooley, who bequeathed it to the city of Richmond upon their deaths.
