James Madison's Montpelier | Homes of Our History Episode 4

Step inside Montpelier, the Virginia home of James Madison — Father of the Constitution, fourth president of the United States, and one of the most important architects of the American republic.

In Episode 4 of Homes of Our History, we explore the life and legacy of James Madison through the home where his love of learning helped shape America’s future.

Before the Constitution became the law of the land, Madison studied the rise and fall of past republics from his library at Montpelier. His work helped turn thirteen divided states into one lasting Union — a nation strong enough to govern, and restrained enough to keep its people free.

From the New Library and Old Library to the dining room where Madison and Dolley welcomed guests, Montpelier tells the story of a quiet scholar whose ideas helped guide the United States through generations of storms.

Homes of Our History tells the story of America through the homes of the leaders who built, defended, and renewed our nation.
