If you are a history buff, Virginia is a perfect destination. It is the birthplace of dozens of prominent Americans, most notably eight U.S. presidents. While many of these wonderful homes can be visited, few offer the multitude of activities that you will find at Montpelier, the home of James and Dolley Madison.

Set in the Virginia countryside, a few minutes from the historic town of Orange, Montpelier is the perfect spot to brush up on your American history. The staff at this living museum offers a full slate of unique activities throughout the year. Recently, they have teamed with several local inns and restaurants to create Montpelier Excursions. These all-inclusive packages combine gourmet dining, the romance of a country inn and the excitement of exploring the home of one of the nation’s founding fathers.
