Ravenswood Mansion

History

In January of 2009, the City of Brentwood was approached to begin discussions about the potential of selling and preserving the property for future generations. For almost two years the City Commission and staff had discussions about the potential for a new park on the southern edge of the city. In November of 2010, the Commission voted to purchase 320 acres of land along with the historic Ravenswood home and out buildings and to establish the Marcella Vivrette Smith Park in Mrs. Smith's honor. This would mark the single largest land purchase ever by the City of Brentwood. Following that acquisition, the Commission voted in late 2013 to exercise an option to purchase an adjoining 80-acre parcel from the Smith family, bringing the total land area to approximately 400 acres. Today it is used for Weddings, Events, Corporate Functions, and everything of the like.
