Are you missing Downton Abbey – the upstairs/downstairs intrigue, the history, the fashions? Visit Richmond’s own Gilded Age showplace and step into the Dooleys’ world of wealth and social influence, where a large domestic staff maintained the lifestyle and guests stood in awe of the lavish receptions in this castle-like home. Elegantly costumed ladies, gentlemen and members of the household staff reveal the social rituals, family dramas and important tittle-tattle of the day as you are transported to the Downton era at Maymont “Abbey.” Living history tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.
