Maymont, the 100-acre green space in the heart of Richmond, is inviting people to  share their favorite “Maymont Moments” to mark its 100th anniversary as a public park. With gorgeous gardens, a nature center, farm animals and a mansion full of beautiful furnishings, it has become a favorite place to learn, explore and celebrate life’s meaningful moments. Everyone is welcome to be a part of a new oral history campaign by sharing their memories of Maymont with an easy-to-use oral history portal, accessible any time, any place, by smartphone or computer.

It is easy to share a recollection by visiting and submitting text, photos or a simple video recording of someone telling a story. If someone has multiple stories to share, they are welcome to visit the portal again and again. The stories gathered will become a part of Maymont’s archives and may be used for research or promotion in support of the 100th anniversary celebrations in 2026.
