As a place to spent the foreseeable future, James Monroe is in an odd-looking structure. It's a beautiful cast-iron structure.
Monroe was originally buried in New York City, but was moved to his native state after the anniversary of his 100th birthday. There's a modest inscription inside the bars of the structure.
Obviously, the cage is a rather unique way of paying tribute to someone like Monroe. That helped it achieve National Historic Landmark status in 1971.
And not a word of his doctrine anywhere around.
Since we were there, the area went through a $900,000 update in 2015. It took a year, but I presume it looks even better today than it did then.
