They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

This legendary uniform is a highly significant display for Maymont as it belonged to John Dooley (1809-1868)\, the father of James H. Dooley who was a Gilded Age financier and owner of Maymont. Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn. Both the portrait and the sword are part of the Maymont Mansion Collection. The uniform is on temporary loan from The Nau Civil War Collection in Houston\, Texas.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

This legendary uniform is a highly significant display for Maymont as it belonged to John Dooley (1809-1868)\, the father of James H. Dooley who was a Gilded Age financier and owner of Maymont. Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn. Both the portrait and the sword are part of the Maymont Mansion Collection. The uniform is on temporary loan from The Nau Civil War Collection in Houston\, Texas.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

This legendary uniform is a highly significant display for Maymont as it belonged to John Dooley (1809-1868)\, the father of James H. Dooley who was a Gilded Age financier and owner of Maymont. Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn. Both the portrait and the sword are part of the Maymont Mansion Collection. The uniform is on temporary loan from The Nau Civil War Collection in Houston\, Texas.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate.

The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits.

This legendary uniform is a highly significant display for Maymont as it belonged to John Dooley (1809-1868)\, the father of James H. Dooley who was a Gilded Age financier and owner of Maymont. Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn. Both the portrait and the sword are part of the Maymont Mansion Collection. The uniform is on temporary loan from The Nau Civil War Collection in Houston\, Texas.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

This legendary uniform is a highly significant display for Maymont as it belonged to John Dooley (1809-1868)\, the father of James H. Dooley who was a Gilded Age financier and owner of Maymont. Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn. Both the portrait and the sword are part of the Maymont Mansion Collection. The uniform is on temporary loan from The Nau Civil War Collection in Houston\, Texas.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections.

This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion.

The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

This legendary uniform is a highly significant display for Maymont as it belonged to John Dooley (1809-1868)\, the father of James H. Dooley who was a Gilded Age financier and owner of Maymont. Two other important artifacts associated with John Dooley join his uniform in this special exhibit. A fine oil portrait of John Dooley painted by Peter Baumgras in 1859 will be shown publicly for the first time\, its true identity recently revealed during conservation treatment. John Dooley’s Model 1850 Foot Officer’s sword\, made by Virgil Price of New York and recently conserved through funds from the Maymont Council\, will also be displayed alongside the green coatee with which it was originally worn. Both the portrait and the sword are part of the Maymont Mansion Collection. The uniform is on temporary loan from The Nau Civil War Collection in Houston\, Texas.

They filled their residence\, the Maymont Mansion\, with a treasure trove of nature-inspired decorative and fine arts and landscaped the surrounding 100 acres with beautiful parkland\, magnificent trees\, and glorious gardens. This spring\, the special exhibition “A Passion for Nature” will encourage guests to take a closer look at the bountiful representations of flora and fauna\, from lilies and dragonflies adorning Art Nouveau objects to realistic sculpture of lions and owls\, found in the decorations of the Gilded Age mansion. The special feature of the exhibition is the Dooleys’ limited edition set of the Haviland White House dinner service created in collaboration with artist Theodore Davis during the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes. The flamboyant set\, with distinctive designs for each course of a formal dinner service\, is vividly decorated with an array of American wildlife and plants in their natural habitats. The Dooleys’ collection\, which is the largest on permanent public display in the world\, will be complemented by equally spectacular pieces on loan from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont\, Ohio\, the Musée de la Civilisation in Québec\, Canada\, and private collections. In addition\, fashions on loan from The Valentine will reflect the growing interest in the natural world during the Gilded Age\, showing the inspiration of nature in textiles as well as design adaptations for outdoor pursuits. Lovingly crafted butterfly and pressed flower collections will represent some of the nature-inspired creative outlets of the time\, and original garden plans and plant catalogues will illustrate Sallie Dooley’s love and knowledge of horticulture. As spring blossoms at Maymont\, step inside the mansion for a fresh look at the intricacies and wonders of the natural world that have flourished there for 100 years and continue to inspire “A Passion for Nature” throughout the estate. Guided tours available every half-hour; last tour begins at 4:30pm.

Millions of blooms\, plus a chance this year to see the gardens as art. As part of A Million Blooms\, a dozen picture frames will be set up throughout the Central Garden and inside the Conservatory to feature what’s in bloom. Peer through the empty frames to view “living bouquets\,” ensuring you see the Garden’s highlights. The vignettes were inspired by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ Van Gogh\, Manet\, and Matisse: The Art of the Flower exhibit (March 21 – June 21) depicting flowers in masterpieces. Maymont will also have frames in their gardens\, along with an exhibit: A Passion for Nature. Complementing the experience\, the Garden will also have 19th French-inspired floral arrangements in the Library during the following weekends: Easter Weekend with Peter Rabbit (April 4 & 5); Heritage Weekend (April 18 & 19) and Mother’s Day Weekend (May 8 – 10). Other A Million Blooms highlights are the newly completed Cherry Tree Walk with cherry blossoms and other blooms around Sydnor Lake\, and Butterflies LIVE! opening April 17. Events throughout the season include Easter Weekend with Peter Rabbit\, Mother’s Day\, the Spring Plant Sale and plant shows\, and activities in the Children’s Garden.
