Please help the James Madison Belle Grove Foundation raise the needed funds for October!

This year, the James Madison Belle Grove Foundation will not be putting on our annual Spirits Festival. This is our largest fundraising event for the year. Funds from this event help us preserve and restore this historic property, helps us maintain the 1791 mansion, 1720 summer kitchen, smokehouse and dairy, improve the grounds, educate the public through historic tours, archeology, research, homeschool programs and community special events.

Instead of the Spirits Festival this year, we are presenting a month of amazing events in October!

We will have an Evening with Edger Allen Poe and Ghost Stories around the Fire on October 5th. Our annual Not So Wicked Witches Tea Party on October 13th, Our biggest event, Haunted Hotel will see the inside of our historic mansion turned into a horror haunted house from October 19th to October 31st. Nothing like doing a haunted house in one of the Most Haunted Plantations in the Virginia. (Which is a real ghost and which is a fake ghost?)

We are asking for your help in raising the needed funds to employ actors and workers for these events. When you make a donation, we are offering a "thank you" gift with your donation. Please make sure you give us your complete name and mailing address so we can send your gift. If you don't want the gifts, just leave your address blank.

We really need your help!  Please consider making a donation and help us bring these amazing events to the public!
