Montpelier Restoration Celebration


James Madison's Montpelier re-opened today. 2500 Local School students participated in the ceremony by creating a "Seen by Helicopter" size American Flag. Culpeper was represented by 7 Culpeper County Elementary Schools. Most notably Chief Justice John Roberts addressed the crowd describing the contributions that James Madison made to the establishment of our country.
Eric Cantor - Our 7th District Congressman in the US House of Representatives was noted as being in the same Congressional Seat as was James Madison when he served in Congress. Virginia's Governor Tim Kaine spoke of the importance of the Montpelier Restoration and it's contribution to Virginia.
