In addition to Montpelier's everyday wonders like... James and Dolley Madison's beloved home The archaeology lab full of artifacts Fascinating museum exhibits, and Our James Madison Landmark Forest ... this special day will feature a full line-up of fun, educational, interactive programs and activities.
