1997 KG Historical Society Metal Christmas Ornament – President James Madison
This finely crafted metal ornament honors President James Madison, the fourth President of the United States and “Father of the Constitution,” who was born on March 16, 1751 at Belle Grove Plantation in Port Conway, King George County, Virginia. Madison’s formative years in Virginia shaped his lifelong dedication to liberty, governance, and the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
 
As the 1997 entry in the King George Historical Society’s collectible ornament series, this piece celebrates both Madison’s national legacy and his deep local roots. It serves as a reminder that one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers began his life along the banks of the Rappahannock River in the heart of King George County.
Elegant in detail and rich in historical significance, this ornament is a meaningful keepsake for history enthusiasts, collectors, and admirers of Madison’s enduring contributions to the nation.
