Description
Members of an archaeological team at President James Madisons Orange County plantation, Montpelier, excavate a planting hole near an open, domed, neoclassical temple added to the property in 1810 by the president and his wife, Dolley Madison. This hole held a pine tree—one of twenty pine trees planted by Madisons workers as an Allée between the front portico of the mansion and the ornamental temple nearby.
