My Mother’s Day Visit To Montpelier – President James Madison’s Home In Orange County, Virginia

Hamilton Historical Records

On Mother’s Day 2021, I had the oppurtunity to visit the vast grounds of James Madison’s Montpelier for my first time.

President James Madison is buried, along with his wife Dolly Madison, within the grounds of the home.

Author’s Note:

At the Montpelier Train Depot, there is a historical marker dedicated to General Lafayette’s visits to Montpelier in 1824 and 1825.
