This is an absolutely amazing museum. I learned a lot about James Monroe when I was here. I also love the way it’s laid out. It is a self guided tour. However, there is staff on hand to ask questions. The exhibits are laid out very well and there are detail descriptions about each one. Also, they have a very clean toilet here and that made me happy. All I know me and my partner really enjoyed visiting this museum and I highly recommend it if you pass through this area.

this museum is more personal. They show a lot of artifacts and literature that was left behind by the monroe family. Very neat. It's small and will take you about 30 minutes if you take your time. Great informative custodian there.
