Poplar Lawn is one of Petersburg’s grandest neighborhoods and is the location of its tour this spring. There is a park at the neighborhood’s center. One of the homes bordering the park, the 1890 Augustus Wright Mansion, will be open for the first time for Historic Garden Week. Located within easy walking distance of each other, the 1856 Ragland Mansion, now a B&B, two other private homes, a historic church and a home turned workshop will also be part of the tour. Related activities, including a tea, will be held in the park, weather permitting. Located a short drive from the tour area is the Centre Hill mansion, a Garden Club of Virginia restoration site, which will also welcome visitors.
