This is another set of photos from Montpellier Station in Orange County, Virginia. Montpellier was the home of James Madison, the fourth President of the United States. In later years, before it was donated to the National Trust, it was the home of Marion du Pont Scott. The “Scott” is her her famous husband’s name, Randolph Scott, of early western movie fame. Mrs du Pont held steeple chase races here that were free and I was able to attend of the last ones that she held. The du Pont family owned the property since 1900ish and had the station built. It is now a property that you can tour both the house and the extensive grounds. The station was added around the turn of the 20th century and served the area for many years. It is now restored to the Jim Crow era of about 1910 and you see the separate (and most definitely not equal) entrances to the waiting rooms.
