🌟 Proud Announcement from The Woman’s Club of Richmond at Bolling Haxall House 🌟

We are delighted to announce Reese Minter as our 2026 Mary Munford Scholar!

From a young age, Reese was surrounded by the joy of learning. Her mother, a teacher, turned summers into opportunities for growth — filling days with math problems, word sorts, and daily reading. That foundation sparked a lifelong love of learning and a determination to challenge herself at every step.

Reese has consistently chosen the most rigorous courses, understanding that academic excellence opens doors. While she has held herself to the highest standards, she has never lost sight of the bigger picture: using her education and leadership skills to serve others.

Reese’s goal is clear and inspiring. She plans to attend college and dental school, then open her own private practice focused on community-centered care. She dreams of hosting free dental clinics and advocating for oral health education so that everyone — regardless of background — can smile with confidence and care for their health.

Reese’s vision of turning personal achievement into meaningful service beautifully reflects the legacy of Mary-Cooke Branch Munford, a founding member and early president of The Woman’s Club who believed deeply in the power of education to strengthen individuals and communities.

This scholarship will help Reese turn her dream into reality and serve others in the way they truly deserve. We couldn’t be prouder.

Congratulations, Reese! Your dedication, leadership, and heart for community make us excited for the difference you will make — one smile at a time. 🦷✨💙

This spring, The Woman’s Club of Richmond continued its proud tradition of supporting five outstanding young women from the Metro Richmond area as they pursue their college dreams.

It is our pleasure to introduce one of our 2026 scholarship recipients, 🎉Kyria Martinez🎉.

Kyria is a recent graduate of St. Gertrude High School and will be a rising freshman at Shenandoah University, where she plans to major in biology on her path to becoming a licensed physician assistant (PA).

Kyria’s passion for healthcare grew from her own experience navigating health insurance challenges — an issue she saw affecting so many others without support. While excelling in Advanced Placement courses and competing on her school’s track team, she also worked part-time as a swim instructor at the YMCA. There, she not only taught children how to swim but helped them build confidence and self-esteem — skills that will serve her well as a compassionate healthcare provider.

Kyria’s goal is to become a physician assistant who serves her community with empathy, supports those who need it most, and acts as a role model for other young women interested in STEM careers.

Congratulations, Kyria! 🎉 We are so proud to support you and look forward to watching you make a meaningful difference.

The Woman’s Club of Richmond has been empowering women and strengthening our community for generations — right here at the historic Bolling Haxall House.

🎉 This Preservation Month, come celebrate with us at the Bolling Haxall House!✨
Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or simply want to experience one of Richmond’s architectural treasures, our doors are open. Built in 1858, this stunning Italianate mansion became a beloved community hub when the Woman’s Club purchased it in 1900 — and it’s been thriving ever since.

Preservation isn’t just about saving the past — it’s about keeping these historic spaces alive for music🎶, meetings, weddings💍, and new memories.

A heartfelt thank you to the generations of women who have lovingly cared for the Bolling Haxall House and helped protect historic places across the country.

Is it a cupola or a belvedere? No matter what you call it this feature of the historic Bolling Haxall House has been part of the Richmond skyline 🏙 for generations. Sitting gracefully atop the home of The Woman's Club, the prominent architectural feature is a hallmark of the building's Italianate style.

Originally the tall windows framed views down to the James river and as far as the countryside surrounding the city. Today the view's an urban combination of modern and historic buildings including with both the new CoStar tower as well as the Jefferson and John Marshall Hotels.

(Technically, this is a belvedere because it is large enough to stand inside. A cupola is usually smaller with a rounded or dome top.)😉

🎉 Spring has arrived in full glory at the Bolling Haxall House!
The Dogwood trees are putting on a spectacular show right now — especially on a bright, sunny day like today 🌞.

Did you know? Virginia’s beloved Dogwood was named the state flower in 1918 and the state tree in 1956. It’s almost impossible to imagine Richmond in springtime without these iconic beauties blooming across the city.

Who needs AI or Photoshop when Virginia’s natural splendor makes our Capital City this stunning? ✨

Come see them for yourself!
