About

During the 2026 Expedition season, the Montpelier archaeology department is investigating an 18th-century Blacksmith shop that was run by Moses, an enslaved blacksmith owned by James Madison, Sr. Moses ran the blacksmith shop during the American Revolution and provided supplies for the Continental Army during the War. We are investigating this site to find evidence for the forge, to learn about the items produced, and to locate structures that were present at the site. Moses’s blacksmith shop was ultimately moved during the 1810s reconfiguration of the main house formal grounds. The site is now immediately adjacent to the iconic 1810s-era Temple located near the Montpelier main house.
