James Madison Museum

The James Madison Museum located in Orange, Virginia is a museum dedicated to 4th President of the United States James Madison and his wife, Dolley Madison.[1] Exhibits include original furniture used by James Madison,[2] his personal items, portraits of the Madisons, and a statue.[3]

Due to Madison's reputation as a farmer,[4] the museum also features a collection of antique farm tools. There is also a partially reconstructed 1733 house to demonstrate building practices.[5]
