Built in 1893 by James and Sallie Dooley, this 100-acre Gilded Age estate was left to the City of Richmond upon the couple’s death. It features an arboretum, stable and carriage collection. Tours inside the mansion are available Tuesday through Sunday and the opulence is truly unmatched by estates of the period. The Italian Garden features a pergola, fountains, urns and rose arrangements. The Japanese Garden is home to huge Koi fish and a 35-foot waterfall. The Nature Center was added in 2001 and allows visitors to view Virginia-native animals being nursed back from injuries, such as a bobcat, black bear, foxes, bald eagle, deer, elk, and bison.
