The James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library first opened in 1927, and it strives to commemorate the life, history, and achievements of James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States.

The museum was created by direct descendents of Monroe, who wanted a place where their family heirlooms and personal collections could be kept, and the place they chose was in fact once the site of Monroe’s office, where he practiced law.

The museum has a massive collection of artifacts and heirlooms, from letters and documents to the plates and pottery he used at the dinner table.
