#5 James Monroe


1 quick 2 hour drive south from DC near Charlottesville, VA will yield 3 Presidential Homes in very close proximity.4 of the first 5 Presidents of the United States were actually from Virginia.  Monroe's 6 room house at Ash-Lawn Highland was nice but also very humble for a POTUS. We learned today he was the founding father of the most modest means and died with about 70,000 in debt. Virginia claims a total of 8 Presidents born in the State which is not bad for the 10th state admitted into the Union. Oops, I'll have to use my deloreon to travel back to 2009 when doing POTUS stuff was cool.
