Owner's Description

Madison Cottage in New York City was named in his honor shortly after his death. It later became Madison Square, the center of numerous landmarks. In 1986, Congress created the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation as part of the bicentennial celebration of the Constitution. The Foundation offers $24,000 graduate level fellowships to secondary teachers to undertake a master's degree which emphasizes the study of the Constitution.
On his legacy, George F. Will once wrote that if we truly believe that the pen is mightier than the sword, our nation's capitol would be named "Madison D.C.", instead of Washington D.C.
