Evidence suggests that the Madisons’ formal garden was designed by a French gardener, Charles Bizet, about 1810. Several enslaved laborers worked as assistant gardeners. After Bizet returned to France, Archibald Blair (a native of Scotland) served as head gardener from 1818 to 1824. Three enslaved gardeners took over Blair’s duties after his departure, and Dolley Madison wrote “we hope to have from them as many good things as usual.” After William duPont’s purchase of Montpelier in 1901, wife An

James Madison—father of the Constitution, architect of the Bill of Rights—was targeted by lies in newspapers. According to his wife Dolley, he generally laughed at them. Why? Because Madison understood something profound: protecting free speech means protecting speech we disagree with, even speech that criticizes us personally. The benefits of a free press outweighed the dangers. In our special year-end episode of Consider the Constitution, we look back at 19 conversations exploring what the Con

"What did James Madison do?" Madison authored the Bill of Rights, the Virginia Plan, co-wrote the Federalist Papers, and championed religious freedom and checks and balances in government. The fourth President of the United States died peacefully over his breakfast on June 28, 1836. He is buried in the family cemetery at Montpelier, where Dolley, his wife of 42 years, eventually joined him. | James Madison's Montpelier

Montpelier was a family home that grew over two generations. The first part was built for President Madison's father in 1765. Madison expanded it in 1797, after he married Dolley, and he added wings on both ends of the house between 1810 and 1812. Today Montpelier looks much the way it did when Madison retired from the Presidency in 1817. | James Madison's Montpelier
