Description
Magnolia Grange is Chesterfield County's finest Federal style plantation home. The federal style is characterized by a unification of parts, attenuated proportions, and delicacy of details. The house, which is located across from the Chesterfield Court House, is a conservative, but elegant, early 1800's building. Many of the owners and occupants of Magnolia Grange have held public office and were instrumental in dictating the county's political development. The name Magnolia Grange derives from a circle of magnolia trees and formal boxwood gardens that once graced the lawn, destroyed after the Civil War to cultivate further farmland. Presentation by Martha Atkinson, Historical Interpreter at Magnolia Grange.
