Learn about the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe.

The James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library is a historical museum located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Open since 1927, this place is situated on one of James Monroe's actual properties, formerly used as his law office. The building became a registered National Historic Landmark in 1966. James Monroe worked in more public service jobs than anyone who has been President of the United States. He was also a farmer, lawyer, soldier, and statesman. The museum holds the most extensive collection of James Monroe's personal artifacts and things related to his career.

Visitors who come here can view his sword. The blade was made in France, and the hilt and grip were made in America. His bayonet and the actual desk where The Monroe Doctrine was written are also displayed. The desk was purchased in Paris when James Monroe served as the Ambassador to France. The museum and its contents depict the life and legacy that the Monroe family had in early American history. The museum is open from 10 am - 5 pm from Monday through Saturday and on Sunday from 1 pm - 5 pm. Admission rates are $6 for adults, $5 for seniors (65+), and $2 for youth (6-17). Please note that guided tours for groups of ten or more must be booked in advance. If you love American history and want to learn about President Monroe, head to the James Monroe Museum.
