DONORS LIKE ME
May Day Taylor of Washington, D.C. first visited Montpelier with her
family in 1980. Though the property was still owned by the duPonts,
Ms. Taylor was inspired by the site’s powerful ability to illustrate the
lives of James and Dolley Madison.
Thirty-five years later, Ms. Taylor is one of The Montpelier
Foundation’s most loyal donors, making consistent contributions
to support Montpelier since 1993. “I remain excited about my
opportunity to help preserve the legacy of James and Dolley
Madison,” commented Ms. Taylor.
As the daughter of civics teachers, Ms. Taylor was instilled with “a good dose of history.” In 1965, she
joined the Dolley Madison Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and soon after became
hooked on all things Madison.
With the help of Ms. Taylor and donors like you, James Madison’s Montpelier is creating great
experiences for people from around the world. Thank you!
