james monroe museum and memorial library印象

The building it self, is not the original building where he practiced law. A rebuilt building located in the area of the original building. It is small but nice to see and it is only $5.00, $4.00 for seniors.

Staff at museum was very friendly, fair amount of museum pieces and lots of information about James Monroe and family. Although we were interested in Civil War history this little piece of Revolutionary War history was welcoming.

They main attraction is the desk that Monroe used to write the Monroe Doctrine. Also they did have two vests that Monroe wore one for his wedding and one while he was in college. The house consists of 4 small rooms, guess I was expecting more artifacts. The cost is $5.00 per person to tour the small museum.

The tour is informative and fascinating, and the collection is worth the visit. There are original clothes worn by Monroe, furniture that was used in the White House, original portraits, and much, much more. Very much worth a visit!

The museum visit was wonderful and there was a painting of James Monroe on the wall and as you walked around the room, it appeared that his eyes were watching you.

James Monroe, our nation's 5th president, began his illustrious career practicing law in Fredericksburg. He owned this house and practiced law in it from 1786-92. This museum has the largest collection of Monroe's personal possessions, furnishings and papers. We must say it was sad to see the adjacent cemetery in need of a lot of upkeep.

Abundant and interesting artifacts from Monroe's personal and political life. Well-presented with helpful information from the staff.

If you don't know much about our 5th president, this is a great little but informative museum to visit. Does not take long to walk through and they have many items of Monroe's that have been preserved such as the desk he wrote the Monroe Doctrine on, two chairs he bought from the Russian Ambassador when Monroe was moving into his new home and needed furniture. There are other various things that the history nerd in you will enjoy. Worth the visit.

This is a small museum but contains the largest collection of James Monroe's possessions. The museum was once thought to be where he practiced law but dating of the building's brick refuted that. So while the building itself was not one he worked in, the land the building is on was owned by Monroe... in case you're wondering why the location was chosen. The museum has on display several items Monroe wore, weapons, letters, furnishings, china, and a pretty good background on what kind of man he was and his career. The entrance fee is $5. You can opt to do a tour or guide yourself.

This is the law office of James Monroe and is worth a visit for that reason alone. It is quaint and informative in the heart of historic downtown Fredricksburg.
