Led by a Maymont Museum Interpreter, this guided focus tour explores the Mansion’s transition from a private residence to a public institution.

Through archival images, behind-the-scenes information and stories from Maymont’s history, guests will learn about the property’s earliest years as a museum beginning in 1926 and how its stewardship changed again when the nonprofit Maymont Foundation was formed in 1975 to care for and operate the 100-acre property and museum.
