The first museum in the U.S. to honor our 4th President James Madison. The Museum houses a wonderful collection of documents, costumes, farm equipment, Madison family artifacts and even a 1730's Patent House.

The James Madison Museum located in Orange, Virginia is a museum dedicated to 4th President of the United States James Madison and his wife, Dolley Madison. Exhibits include original furniture used by James Madison, his personal items, portraits of the Madisons, and a statue.

Due to Madison's reputation as a farmer, the museum also features a collection of antique farm tools. There is also a partially reconstructed 1733 house to demonstrate building practices.

The Museum’s mission is to preserve and present the remarkable history of Orange County, along with the contributions of the Father of the Constitution/President James Madison, First Lady, Dolley Madison and Orange-born President (General)...

I absolutely loved stopping by this museum when i was in Orange ! The volunteers were absolutely amazing and super sweet! This was a few years ago now, but i think about this experience quite often! The museum was almost completely devoid of people when i went, no wait of any kind and very very nicely organized ! I am an autistic individual with a special interest in american history. The staff were thrilled to talk about the amazing history, and went above and beyond! They even allowed me to see some items that couldn't be displayed, including clothing that was worn by Madisons wife! If you have time I 100% recommend stopping by this lovey place, it will forever be an experience that i keep very close...

This is an excellent museum focusing on the contributions of James Madison to the foundations of our country. Well presented and quality displays and information. We were really impressed, also, by an outstanding collection of early farm and woodworking implements and tools. Maybe not in quantity but certainly in completeness that which you would find at The Henry Ford when it comes to small implements and tools.

We really appreciated the museum director who did a great job explaining the exhibits. This museum is a real gem and certainly worth going out of your way to...

I saw this museum listed when I checked out James Madison home in Orange Virginia. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well done this museum is. The woman volunteere at the front desk gave me a short tour through the rooms and explained each and pointed out what I considered the best objects. Almost all items are original. I loved the bed and chair of president Taylor. An original house from 1733 was moved into the museum.

Was driving by and saw this on the map. Decided to stop in to learn more about James Madison. I DEFINITELY was surprised with how much this museum has. Took over 300 photos. Also Carol was an excellent guide giving an overview of the museum and we had a long talk about history. Highly recommended going here if you are able to do so. If you do, please let Carol know AJ sent you. 😁😉

Wonderful little museum. The guide and caretaker was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The exhibits are wide ranging covering Presidents from Virginia, history of Native American tribes of the area to artifacts from the area including an early colonial house and farm implements. The exhibits are extremely well described and cataloged. A wonderful and unexpected find.
