Hi all: James Madison's home, Montpelier, is undergoing a $30+ million renovation, and has been able to stay open during the restoration. We provide a PowerPoint presentation, a walking tour of the mansion, we've created a "Hands-On Restoration" tent for folks to make their own bricks, do some planing, etc., and have created three exhibitions in a separate building that relate to the "finished" house, which is slated to be furnished by March 2008. We didn't reduce the admission rate; rather, we offer a money-back guarantee. which only 2-4 couples have asked for in the last year. Visitors LOVE this restoration, which we tout as the "last of the founding father's homes" (and/or the last of the presidential homes to be restored). Come visit! www.montpelier.org <http://www.montpelier.org/> Lee Ms. Lee Langston-Harrison Curator James Madison's Montpelier P.O.
