Belle Grove Plantation to further postpone opening for 2020 season

Belle Grove Plantation will delay opening for the 2020 season until at Thursday, June 11, 2020. This is in response to the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Executive Order 55 that requests residents to “stay at home” and extends the order to close museums and other businesses until June 10, 2020, unless amended or rescinded by a further executive order.

Belle Grove is closely monitoring news and guidance regarding COVID-19 from health and government officials to make sure that when we open to the public we will do so safely for our guests and personnel. The public is advised to check www.bellegrove.org for updates before planning a visit. The website also lists the status of special events scheduled for this spring and summer at Belle Grove.

Belle Grove will continue to share content on our website and the Museum Shop has products for sale at www.bellegrove.org/shop. We also share news and photographs daily on our social media streams at:

The Board of Directors and staff of Belle Grove Plantation wish everyone well and thank our nation’s medical and essential workers for their extraordinary work during this challenging time. We look forward to welcoming the public back to the property as soon as it is safe to do so.
