The 18th-century Belmont estate was the country home and studio of prominent portraitist, muralist, and American Impressionist painter Gari Melchers (1860-1932). The house contains Gari and Corinne Melchers’ original furnishings and personal art collection, the studio houses over 1600 works by Melchers, and the 27-acre grounds feature restored formal gardens and miles of walking trails. The site is also home to the Stafford County Visitor Center.

This is a wonderful spot for a pandemic afternoon get away. Located half-way between DC and Richmond, just off I-95. The home and studio are both very interesting and the experience is greatly enhanced by very knowledgeable docents. Tours are limited to 4 people plus the docent. All appropriate COVID precautions are visibly in place and we felt very safe. There are picnic tables and several hiking trails to enjoy as well. Highly recommend.
