With a new president about to the take the nation’s reins, there’s no better time than the present to enjoy a little presidential history. With a trip to Virginia, travelers can visit the homes of four of America’s founding fathers, as well as spending some time at a relaxing, romantic bed and breakfast.

A trip to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, is a must-see experience for anyone who loves American history. The home was designed by Jefferson himself and among the interesting tours are guided visits through the home itself, as well as the gardens and plantation. Just three miles down the road, you’ll find Ash Lawn-Highland, home of James Monroe. Tours of this gracious home are available, as well.

James Madison’s home, Montpelier, is less than a half-hour from the previous homes, and also is open for tours. Woodrow Wilson’s home is also in the same vicinity and offers yet another presidential adventure. Even George Washington’s home is just two hours away in Alexandria. So even if your time is limited, there is plenty to see and do.

The village of Orange and the historic Holladay House Bed and Breakfast serve as the perfect home base for your presidential getaway. The town and this Virginia inn are just a few miles from James Madison’s home, and less than 30 miles from the homes of Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. Orange is also only about a two-hour’s drive from the D.C. area and George Washington’s home Mount Vernon. In addition to these historic sites, there are plenty of wineries to enjoy, and the Holladay House is within walking distance to several popular restaurants.

Holladay House rests on Orange’s charming main street in the midst of its historic commercial district. The common rooms and guest rooms of this Virginia bed and breakfast maintain the town’s period charm and are decorated with elegant antiques. Some guest rooms offer a fireplace and whirlpool tub. All rooms include luxurious linens and hypoallergenic bath products. In addition to serving a full, homemade breakfast, the innkeepers serve freshly baked cookies and treats during the day.

To celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama to our nation’s most prestigious office, the innkeepers at Holladay House are offering a special inauguration discount. If you stay at the inn for three nights during the inauguration (January 20), you will receive your third night’s stay at half price. At a time when saving money is especially important, this deal will help make your presidential getaway a little easier on the pocketbook.

For a truly patriotic vacation, consider one of the inn’s special presidential packages. The “Bill of Rights” package includes a two-night stay at the inn, full breakfast each morning, and two tickets or passes to Montpelier, Monticello and Ash-Lawn Highland, as well as maps and driving directions. In addition, the innkeepers will send you off with a stocked picnic basket filled with cheese, crackers, fruit, sparkling water and dessert. Freshly baked cookies and beverages will be waiting for you at the inn after you return from your adventure. The “Constitution Package,” includes the aforementioned goodies, but upgrades your room choice to one of the inn’s luxury suites, which include a double whirlpool tub, king-size bed and private porch.
