An exhibit features a life-size statue of James Madison of Virginia who stood just over five feet tall. The description notes his soft voice that drew careful attention and frequent requests to speak louder.
Madison, the first of ten children, grew up frail yet studious. He left home at age 11 for schooling and later attended Princeton University in New Jersey where he was an excellent student. The Mini Page credits Wynell Burroughs Schamel and Jean Mueller of the National Archives and Cory Twitchell of Montpelier for assistance.
Dolley Madison Payne Todd married James Madison, calling him the great little Madison. They had no biological children. Dolley’s son Todd was raised by the Madisons but disappointed them. Madison outlived many founders and died June 28, 1836 at 85.
