Maymont is gearing up for its 100th anniversary next year.
Why it matters: They're looking for photos, written stories and/or videos from anyone who's visited the public park in the last 99 years.
Driving the news: Maymont's Historic Resources department is gathering "Maymont Moments" from locals for the next few months as part of its centennial preparation.
- Staffers want to create an "oral history" of Maymont written by the people who know it best.
- That includes the generations of Richmonders who've walked its gardens, fed its goats, rolled down its hills or skipped across its pond.
How it works: Visit the Maymont Moments portal online and upload your memories.
- Whatever you share could be part of its 100th anniversary celebration and promos — and it'll definitely be preserved in Maymont's archives.
