History of Montpelier
Marion duPont Scott started The Montpelier Hunt Races in 1934 on the front lawn of James Madison's home. The hurdle course features the only live brush jumps in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
With the mansion's architectural restoration complete, come witness the investigation, discovery, and installation of Madison furnishings and décor. Watch as curators bring James and Dolley Madison's home back to life.
