Historical Sites
 Montpelier, the home of James Madison, is by far the most significant
historical site in the area and located less than a mile from the Inn at
Westwood Farm. At present the house is being returned to its original,
historically accurate state. This makes for a very interesting tour. You can
learn more about Montpelier, and all the activities scheduled by visiting
