The Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia (CHSV) will be a participating member in a free Time Travelers Weekend offering visitors a “passport” to explore several historical sites in Chesterfield.
Magnolia Grange, built in 1822 by William Winfree, is a handsome Federal-styled plantation house named for the circle of magnolia trees that once graced its front lawn. Noted for its distinctive architecture, the mansion contains elaborate ceiling medallions as well as sophisticated carvings on mantels, doorways, and window frames. The house has been carefully restored to its 1820s look and feel.
Magnolia Grange will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24 and opened on Sunday, Sept. 25 from noon to 4 p.m. Magnolia Grange is located at 10020 Iron Bridge Rd. For more information, call Magnolia Grange at (804) 796-1479 or visit www.chesterfieldhistory.com.
