Montpelier's Fences and Gardens.

James Madison's Montpelier, Post #3 of 3.

Garden Gate.


Montpelier is in Orange County, Virginia. It is a National Trust for Historic Preservation property.

James and Dolley Madison had gardens but the formal garden was planted during the early 20th century when the duPont family owned the property. August is not the best month to visit the garden because many flowers had faded from the heat, but we can go back. The gardens and grounds are free to visit.
