About Gardens Of The Hampton Preston Mansion

One of the capital city’s oldest estates, the Hampton-Preston property features three acres of beautiful gardens filled with native and exotic plantings. Magnolias and live oaks tower over garden spaces, including the back lawn and side gardens, while pergolas, a gazebo and a fountain garden provide dynamic settings for creative event designs. This is an outdoor only venue; the historic home is a museum and not available for rentals.
