"We were very pleased to find out that we could visit the archeology exhibit and activities any given day. Our kids loved looking through the drawers that were full of china, glass, and other objects. Absolutely recommend Montpelier!"

"Nice tour and beautiful grounds. Visit the graves of the Madison's or watch the archeologists work. Worth the time."

"This is a fantastic property. There are miles of trails and big open spaces that are totally free to use. You can bring a picnic and eat right behind James Madison's house or get food from their cafe, which is managed by the BBQExchange in Gordonsville. The house tour is very informative and the gardens and grounds are beautiful."
