Maymont Mansion

The Maymont Foundation will hire a team of experienced professionals to gather and analyze data from the Maymont Mansion’s climate control system during a yearlong control period. The consultants will assess site conditions, interview the museum staff, and analyze the accumulated data in order to provide specific recommendations for an enhanced environmental system and sustainable improvements that will balance the preservation of the historic structure and the museum collections. The project will allow the museum to continue to share the fascinating story of a wealthy family and their staff in the early 20th century and show the dynamic interplay between working class and upper class and between black and white in the Gilded Age.
