Architectural and construction details, as well as historical research, suggest that the house was constructed between 1781 and 1785. The original owners of Monteplier Mansion, Major Thomas Snowden and his wife Anne, welcomed many distinguished guests into their home, including George Washington and Abigail Adams. Montpelier’s mission states that it is a “…museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting the mansion and its grounds from 1783 to the 1960’s with special emphasis on the Snowden Family occupation (1783-1831).” Much of the archival collections focus on materials of interest to genealogists of not only the direct Montpelier branch of the Snowden family, but also the extended family such as the Warfields, Contees and Reese/Johnson Lines. Within these collections there is wealth of information about the family and their activities through documents such as correspondence, account books, scrapbooks, photographs, and land record materials.
