Agecroft was originally built in Lancashire, England, about 1393, brought to Richmond and faithfully rebuilt here in 1925. The old plaster and timber house was the seat of the Langleys, a branch of the royal Plantagenets. Some of its most beautiful features are an oriel window and the great hall with gallery for minstrels, paneled with oak and lighted by stained glass windows. The house is eventually to go to the city as a generously endowed art museum. ¶ Return to Cary Street Road, turn left, proceed westward to Wilton Road, turn left, proceed to entrance to Wilton (marked) at end of thoroughfare.

Wilton
This stately house was built in 1753 for William Randolph III on a site overlooking the James about six miles below Richmond. The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Virginia bought it several years ago to save the beautiful paneling from being sold out of Virginia, and had it faithfully rebuilt here on another site overlooking the James. ¶ Return to Cary Street Road, turn left and proceed westward to intersection of Cary Street Road and Three Chopt Road.
Country Club of Virginia
This is Richmond’s largest country club, although there are other private clubs and public golf courses. The Country Club of Virginia boasts one eighteen-hole golf course and one short course at this club, and a very fine eighteen-hole course up the James River, where the Club has another smaller clubhouse, skeet shooting traps and river sports. ¶ Continue out Three Chopt Road to Towana Road, which leads to the University of Richmond.
