Reviews of James Madison's Montpelier
"We went to Montpelier and Monticello on the same day. I slightly preferred Montpelier and it is 100% because of our amazing tour guide, Ms. Kemp. She was outstanding. Her knowledge of Madison was deep. Her appreciation for the complexity of sharing his life in a time when slavery was so prevalent was admirable. She didn’t sugar coat things and this made the whole experience richer for me."
"I’ve visited Montpelier multiple times with friends and family. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Virginia, American history, and the writing of our constitution. The museum is great for a short visit - tours of the house take around an hour. Or you could spend all day here, visiting the cemeteries, the dependencies, the exhibits outside of the main house tour, and even walking miles of hiking trails! The work that has been done to the property is extensive and everything is beautifully maintained. The guides and staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable."
"Where in the world do my reviews go? I reviewed this yesterday but yet it shows up here asking me about it. Blake was our tour guide and he was so very informative. The tour wouldn't have been nearly as good without him giving us all the tidbits. Things in the house are from that time that they were there. Many other things are from the period. The carpet in the dining room is the exact same carpet pattern they had. Ditto the wallpaper. It was pretty gaudy. My estimation of Dolly Madison is in the pits now. She was a frivolous woman who didn't honor her husband's dying wishes and was a spendthrift. We went when winter was just beginning. It was cold. We went out on the grounds and I bet the garden, when they had it, was just brimming with beauty and veggies. The gentlemen there were extremely nice. We went for the 2:00 tour, and it was an hour long. My suggestion is go for an earlier tour because 2:00 takes up the whole day. The gift shop has some of the most divine measuring spoons I've ever seen in my life. But at $25 it was a bit pricey for me. They would get many many more people coming in if they drop the price from $36 to $20. Yes yes, they say that they need the money. And it takes a lot of money for the upkeep. I'm sure it does, but so many more people would come see this place if it wasn't so expensive. It would also be good to have golf carts for people that can't walk as far as it is from the gift shop. It's an 8-minute walk up a slight hill. When you come out of the tour it's in the back of the house and it is quite a hike to get back to the parking lot. Inside of the house there are a few chairs here and there to sit in. For me with plantar fasciitis at the time, it was helpful. But I had already been standing and walking for 40 minutes before then. If you have any sort of foot/back problem I would think twice before going. It's a _lot_ of standing & walking. While the information given was interesting, as were some of the items, I don't think the house is worth $36. We got in free on Veterans day."
"I really enjoyed visiting Montpelier as I learned a lot while taking the tour as it’s definitely worth it! The tour guide is very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions! The property is absolutely beautiful! I will definitely come back to visit again in the future! I highly recommend it!"
"Our tour guide was well versed on James Madison, and his legislative history. Very informative tour including discussion on the restoration of the mansion. The visitor center had a nice shop. The DuPont family was a former owner of Montpelier. There was a small museum adjacent to the visitor center on the DuPont family's equestrian pursuits including a racetrack."
