belle grove plantation

This is the birthplace of President James Madison. It is also the Belle Grove Plantation Bed & Breakfast. This southern plantation was established in 1670 on the beautiful Rappahannock River. The historic mansion has four Master Suites with private baths and views of the river and plantation. Each room is named after families that owned Belle Grove Plantation through its history, and each is decorated in period antiques to reflect the period that family lived at Belle Grove. The mansion was built in 1791 with additions added in I think the 1830's. The caretakers provide a great tour of the home and the surrounding area. The tour is $10 a person. They also host teas, re-enactments, as well as other fun events. It is also a great place to have a wedding.
