Stayed at a Inn near Orange and had a few hours to burn before heading home and happened upon this gem! Highly recommended! Planned on only an hour and ended up staying 2 1/2 hrs. A ton to read. The docent was very knowledgeable and friendly! A must do!

Typical of small-town museums, this one has a bit of everything. We had a great time poking around and learning more about the local history. The docents were super-helpful.

Now open on Sundays. An historical look back on Orange County and President Madison. Learned that James Madison and Zachary Taylor were cousins. Enjoyable-$6 admission. Allow about 2 hours. Located in downtown Orange. Recommend it.👍

Definitely worth a visit. Small, hole in the wall museum with an awesome staff. Wanna know about our 4th president? Go for a visit.

Thank you for your review. We are in a small town and the museum is a 1930s automotive dealership and repair building; so, not the "prettiest" of buildings. Very pleased that you enjoyed your visit and hope that you will return again when in the area. Best Wishes for 2020.

This is a rather eclectic collection of Madison and Taylor items, plus a hodge-podge of other items tied to Orange, VA. If you have read much about Madison or have taken the tour of Madison's estate in Montpelier, there won't be a lot of new Madison information, but it is worth 30-60 minutes to stroll through and learn more about the area.…

Thank you for taking the time to post about your visit with us. I believe I was away from the Museum during your visit and hope that you enjoyed Mr. Matthes' vast political and historical knowledge. While we offer a comprehensive review of James and Dolley Madison (with many artifacts) there is quite a bit more to enjoy - as you saw yourself. 6 of the 8 Virginia-born presidents are represented; Pre-contact and Native American exhibit; Black History exhibit; large Hall of Agriculture and Transportation, and our temporary exhibit space that currently features the American Silk Mill local, national and global history. I hope you enjoyed your visit in Orange and will come again when you have the time.
