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.
