The Menokin Foundation
Our mission is to use the historic ruin and the surrounding built and natural environments to transcend the traditional house museum experience. We use contemporary methods to create opportunities for the public to contemplate and explore the building of America.
Our vision is to be one of the most engaging destinations for historic preservation and interpretation. Our creative approach reimagines how individuals connect to history and promote provocative dialogue around our nation’s founding ideals and realities.
Menokin’s 500 acres are an unspoiled, waterfront refuge featuring pristine bird habitats, remnants of the 18th-century agricultural landscape and terraced gardens, and miles of woodland trails. Visit seven days a week for outdoor recreation and exploration, or schedule a guided tour of the landscape and Menokin ruin for when the Visitors Center is open. Menokin also offers seasonal kayak rentals through Rappahannock Outdoor Adventures.
