Montpelier, Presidential plantation in Orange County, United States.

The Montpelier estate includes a Federal-style mansion, archaeological sites, gardens, and 2,650 acres of land with mountain views.

James Madison Sr constructed the main house in 1764, which later became the residence of President James Madison and his wife Dolley.

Archaeological investigations at Montpelier revealed information about African American life, leading to the reconstruction of historic enslaved people dwellings.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation maintains the property with guided tours, exhibitions, and educational programs throughout the year.

The property contains a 197-acre National Natural Landmark forest area with trees reaching over 300 years in age.
