On the last Sunday of every month, take a free guided nature tour of the grounds of the Belmont Estate, home of artist Gari Melchers, with Virginia Master Naturalists. Tours start outside the Museum Shop and Stafford Visitor Center at 2:00pm. Members of the Central Rappahannock Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalist program will lead tours of the woods and fields at Belmont. Aside from the historic house, carriage house, and outbuildings, the walk covers about 1 mile of trails and touches on the historic ruins that illustrate Belmont's past - including a grave-site, springs, pumphouse, and river overlook. The trail covers steep and rough terrain, and may be muddy at times, so sturdy footwear is recommended. Tours will take place in rain, snow or shine. No reservations are necessary.
