Montpelier is a memorial to the Madisons and the Enslaved Community, a museum of American history, and a center for constitutional education that engages the public with the enduring legacy of James Madison's most powerful idea: government by the people. Through archaeology, architectural restoration, public engagement, and decades of research, Montpelier provides a look into the life of the Madisons and those whom they enslaved. The award-winning exhibition, "The Mere Distinction of Colour" dives into America's continued struggle with Race and Racism and includes reconstructed slave dwellings. The 2,650-acre estate was also home to the prominent American family, the duPonts, throughout the 20th century and includes a segregated Train Depot, Civil War encampment, and a freedman's cabin.
