Upon Mrs. Dooley's death in 1925, Maymont was bequeathed to the City of Richmond . Attractions for visitors added over the years include the Nature Center, Native Virginia Wildlife Exhibits, Children's Farm and Carriage Collection. Since 1975, Maymont has been maintained and operated by the private non-profit Maymont Foundation.

Mission: The mission of the Maymont Foundation is the stewardship of Maymont through provision of educational, recreational and cultural opportunities for all its visitors,and the preservation, restoration and development of its many and diverse assets.
