In 2014 I visited relatives in Charlottesville, Virginia and one day we drove over to Montpelier, the home of James and Dolly Madison. Although photos inside the mansion were not permitted, I did get some of the exterior part of the plantation. Herewith a few of those photos.

Very good images David. Did they have images from inside the home that was for sale? Just trying to figure out why no photos allowed.

Very nice tour, David! I spent a year at UVA for grad school and this brings back some good memories.
