James Madison's Montpelier Description

Ambrose Madison, grandfather of the president first settled Montpelier in 1723. James Madison spent the first nine years of his life at Mount Pleasant, Montpelier's original name. The original section of the current house was built by Madison's father in 1760. Madison made two major additions to his father's home and made structural changes to the interior. Over time the home has seen five additional owners until the duPont family purchased the estate in 1901.
