Farm Buildings at Montpelier


After touring James Madison's home and garden, we started to leave the property but I spotted a big green barn and turned down a lane to take a picture of it. Our map showed that the road looped around and came back out so I drove down it and saw some other interesting buildings. I believe these are from the time when the Dupont family owned the property. They had a dairy farm and a huge horse facility where races are still held.



There are also some modern buildings that I did not think to photograph, but there is an educational center devoted to furthering learning about the constitution.

  1. ...Linda, such a wonderful collection. The First green one is a favorite, I don't see many green barns in this area. Thanks for stopping by.

  2. The old barns look in good shape. I imagine those are regular stomping grounds for the deer.
