Maymont
Garden · Richmond · Virginia
A hundred-acre Richmond estate built around a Gilded Age mansion, with an Italian garden, a Japanese garden, and an arboretum of mature trees that turn hard in October. It is free to walk in, close enough to downtown that locals treat it as a regular after-work loop.
