In preparation for our Nation’s 250th anniversary, we are hoping you will consider a gift that can help us:

  • Complete the reconstruction of the James Monroe Birthplace Kitchen
    Slated to begin construction in 2026.  This new building will advance our educational mission by creating a more authentic and immersive environment for visitors to experience early American life, central to 18th-century households, serving not only practical functions but also shaping social, cultural, and labor dynamics.

  • Enrich visitor experiences with new interpretive exhibits and living history programs.

  • Continue hosting events like the popular Colonial Day in the fall that bring history to life for families and the community.

Every gift makes a meaningful difference in keeping Monroe’s spirit alive at his historic birthplace, and we hope you will consider making a tax-deductible contribution today to help us preserve this vital piece of American history.
