HISTORIC MAYMONT ESTATE & STATE CAPITOL
Richmond, VA
Cost: $95 pp
On arrival we will proceed to the State Capitol to enjoy a guided tour of our beautiful legislative building from which our State is governed. You will visit both the Senate and House Chambers. Next, we are offering a guided Historic Estate Tour that will focus less on horticulture and more on the architectural and historical features on the Historic Side of the Maymont property, including the outbuildings, carriage collection, historic gardens, and more. This tour will take roughly 1.5 hours to do, and it requires walking over uneven ground and climbing stairs/hills. You will explore the architectural design of a late 19th-century estate built on 100 acres of rolling hills overlooking the James River. The tour offers insight into the American Gilded Age, an era of rapid economic growth and technological advances, from 19th century gas lighting and horsepower to 20th century electricity and automobiles. We will then proceed to the Cracker Barrel for a late lunch [$18 gift card]. We will depart Manassas at 6:15 a.m. and Woodbridge at 7:00 a.m. Return time is approximately 4:15 p.m. To make your reservation please call 703-339-0333 or email [email protected]
