Happy (Belated) Birthday James Madison



Happy (Belated) Birthday James Madison!!

Our city's namesake was born 16 March 1751. He was good buddies with Thomas Jefferson and was a prominent fixture in the Virginia government. He was one of the authors of The Federalist Papers, had a big hand in drafting our Constitution, was Jefferson's Secretary of State, and served two terms as President himself.
