James Monroe Family Home Site, Archaeological site near Colonial Beach, Virginia, US.
The excavated foundation reveals a substantial wooden farmhouse measuring 20 feet by 58 feet within a property of 74.8 acres.
Archaeological investigations in 1976 by the College of William & Mary team uncovered the birthplace and childhood home of President James Monroe.
The site presents educational programs about early American life, the Continental Army period, and the complex dynamics of slavery during Monroe's time.
The museum welcomes visitors between Memorial Day and Labor Day, operating from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM with guided tours available.
Recent excavations beneath a boxwood garden revealed that the previously identified Monroe house structure belonged to a different building entirely.
