Adrienne:

Please add the James Monroe Museum in Fredericksburg, VA to your
directory.  We have a small, but important, collection of firearms and
weaponry used by the former President (from about 1770-1830).  We
display a good chunck of this collection most of the time because of the
interest we receive in arms.  Thanks.
