Once again, it's time for the Friends of Historic Houses to
fasten their seatbelts and hit the road. This year's trip will
travel to Orange, Va., where the Friends will tour Historic
Montpelier, home of our nation's fourth president, James
Madison, and his wife, Dolley. Often overlooked compared
to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, Montpelier is nestled at
the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and has been
undergoing a massive restoration since 2004. Learn more
about "The Father of the Constitution" and America's first
First Lady in this exclusive tour of the house and grounds.
Space is limited to 50 participants.

Houses, please call (757) 333-1086 or email John
Christiansen at jchristiansen@chrysler.org.
