I visited the Dooley mansion at Maymont for the first time during the holidays. I heard others comment that the mansion is less impressive when it is not decorated for Christmas. The house is certainly impressive with a lot of art work inside. I wish I had more time to linger in the dining room to see the menu of a typical Christmas day dinner.
Our tour guide took us around the two floors over about 45 minutes and could answer questions to the best of her ability. Something are just unknown as most of the paper trail related to the mansion was burned to protect the family’s privacy. Most impressive is the charity of the Dooley’s.
Suggested donation of $ 5. There is also a museum portion of the «downstairs» which many people commented was like Downton Abbey. Interesting for those who have a history bug. For others it may be a little boring.

Maymont decks the halls of the Dooley mansion during the Christmas holiday season, complete with Victorian decorations and a tree, as well as a faux feast that you might have been offered in the 19th century.
There are some tour guides who aren’t particularly child-​friendly. I took my nephew, Joe, who is a very well-​behaved teenager on the tour and the older man who was our guide, kept an eagle eye on him and kept saying «Don’t touch anything» even though we were nowhere near anything to begin with.
In addition to the holiday house tour, there are moonlight tours of the park, carriage rides, wreath-​making workshops, and a St. Nick party for the kids with refreshments.
There is a small charge for each special activity ($ 3-​$ 5) but it’s worth it.
