Story, photos and a video are here. 14 youth and adults enjoyed their day there in Richmond.
They concentrated on the animal and nature exhibits. Maymont is home to hundreds of animals including mighty black bears, iconic American bald eagles, playful river otters and friendly goats.
Maymont is a 100 acre Victorian estate in Richmond developed by James and Sallie Dooley, who lived there from 1893 through 1925. The place remains much as they left it since it was donated to the City of Richmond at James Dooley’s death.
