 Victorian vision |
2201 Shields Ave Richmond, VA 23220 United States +1 804 358 7166 http://www.maymont.org/ |
Built in 1893, this home on the James River is a classic example of Victorian architecture and landscaping. The house is filled with period furniture including a magnificent swan bed. Trees and plants from all over the world were cultivated here by the owners. The English, Japanese and Italian gardens are romantic spots for strolling and picnicking. A carriage collection, children's farm and small zoo are other favorite attractions. Admission to the home and children's farm is free, although donations are requested. Review © 2007, Wcities |
