About

Come to a ceremony honoring fifth President and Revolutionary War hero James Monroe. The ceremony is held annually at his tomb, the restored “Birdcage” monument at Presidents Circle, Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. An Army general and Color Guard present a Presidential wreath, followed by lineage societies presenting their wreaths to honor President Monroe. Local and state leaders give comments honoring Monroe. After the Hollywood Cemetery ceremony, a lunch reception will be held at the Taylor Home on Monument Avenue.
