3. James Madison Museum

ORANGE.   Just east of Charlottesville on Highway 20 is the small Central Virginia town of Orange, home to the nation's only museum dedicated to fourth president, James Madison. This old, red-brick building boasts a unique collection that includes Madison's favorite chair, furniture odds and ends, personal papers, and paintings. The museum's Hall of Transportation & Agriculture is a tribute to Madison's prowess as an agrarian – legend has it that Thomas Jefferson often referred to Madison as the world's best farmer.   (© 10Best)
