Dinner with President and Mrs. Madison Scheduled
Belle Grove Plantation Bed and Breakfast is proud and honored to host
President and Mrs. Madison
on the occasion of their 219th Wedding Anniversary
President Madison portrayed by Mr. John Douglas Hall
Mr. Hall bears a striking physical resemblance to President James Madison in appearance, age and size, but the similarities do not end there. His sharp wit, soft-spoken tone and extraordinary grasp of events as they occurred two hundred years ago to the day make Mr. Hall’s portrayal of Mr. Madison second only to Mr. Madison himself. Mr. Hall has been the singular person of James Madison at Mr. Madison’s home Montpelier in Orange County, Virginia since 1987. He has represented James Madison on Constitutional issues for legal and academic venues and a variety of public forums around the country. You will not want to miss, nor will you soon forget this opportunity to have an intimate conversation with the Father of the Constitution, as portrayed by John Douglas Hall.
Mrs. Madison portrayed by Dr. Lynn Uzzell
Dr. Uzzell is currently the Scholar in Residence at James Madison’s Montpelier and Senior Editor of ConText, an online resource for James Madison’s Notes of the Constitutional Convention. She received her B.A. in speech communication at Black Hills State University ad her M.A. and PH.D. in politics at the University of Dallas. Her doctoral dissertation explored the debates at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Dr. Uzzell has portrayed Dolley Madison at Montpelier since 2010. Dr. Uzzell eloquently brings Dolley Madison to life as she moves through her Salon greeting guests just as Dolley Madison did two hundred years ago.

Oh how wonderful!! Well, I don’t think you will want to come to this dinner sweetie… we are serving Virginia Ham 😉
But we would love to see your mommy!
uh oh – slowly backing out that date from my personal pig calendar to visit the plantation – snorts.
Ya’ll will have a fabulous time! XOXO – Bacon
That’s okay. You won’t be on the menu. But there is always the Ghost Hunt 😉
Heads up. Someone say ghost hunt? I can do that. What if I put on a sheet and run through the fields for you. I can be your mysterious ghost pig. XOXO – Bacon
Haha! Don’t laugh but according to one of our guests we have a ghost dog.
See – every plantation has a ghost. I would have company playing around on the grounds. We would really give your guests something to talk about. XOXO – Bacon
Oh Bacon if I could only seek you in 😉
LOL! Mmmmm ham is delicious! Great post, Dolly and Mr. Madison look awesome. The clothing is fabulous too. I hope this event goes wonderful for you.
