At the Belle Grove Bed and Breakfast blog we get a nice report and lots of photos from the James Madison birthday celebration last Saturday at Montpelier, Madison’s mountain retreat and home in Virginia.

Best report I’ve seen — go over there and give it a read and view.

James Alger, President of James Madison University, delivered an address, “Return to James Madison.” Montpelier CEO Kat Imhof sits to his immediate right. Photos by the Darnells
James Madison University’s President Jonathan Alger delivered an address, “Return to Madison.” I’m hoping someone still has a copy in electronic form that we can get hold of.
