Ash Lawn A New National Shrine Honors Monroe in Virginia
Charlottesville hosts the independence centennial celebration for James Monroe with radio addresses by Hoover and William Castle, a Ash Lawn open to the public, and visits to Monticello and Monticello. The estate’s garden and boxwood design center attention as Monroe’s home is preserved. A Venezuelan statue at Ash Lawn and a New York University hall of fame bust honor Monroe as a versatile early president.
