Join us for our upcoming event: An interesting presentation about James Madison and the first national bank.

Celebrate Dolley Madison’s birthday after the lecture with light refreshments.

Originally created by the Bicentennial Commission in 1975 followed by the formation of the James Madison Memorial Foundation on October 25, 1976, this is the first museum to fully commemorate James Madison.  The James Madison Museum is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Orange and promoting the contributions of the fourth president and “Father of the Constitution” James Madison.  Madison exhibits deal with the life and times of both James and Dolley and detail the important contributions to the American political system of this amazing couple.  Madison artifacts highlight the museum’s main exhibit room and include furnishings, correspondence and personal items; select pieces of Madisonia.

James Madison was also dubbed “the Father of Agriculture” by his close friend Thomas Jefferson.  Visit our Agriculture and Transportation Hall to enjoy exhibits detailing the agricultural heritage and the progression of modes of transportation of Orange, Virginia.

Open Tuesday-Saturday 10 am-4 pm.  Closed Mondays and Sundays.

Admission (age 6 and older) $5.00
