Travel the "Constitution Route" Virginia State Route 20 and visit presidential homes, Civil War Battlefields, wineries and other historic sites. Four United States Presidents - Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Taylor - were either born or built their private estates along this historic ninety-mile route. A short drive from Madison's Montpelier is Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and Monroe's Ash Lawn-Highland.
