The James Monroe Law Office - Museum and Memorial Library was established as a perpetual memorial, sacred to the memory of James Monroe and in honor of the principles of just government and righteousness exemplified in his life and work, with the hope that it would strengthen adherence among visitors to the views he expressed in the Monroe Doctrine and other documents. The Museum was given to the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1964 by the James Monroe Memorial Foundation. The occasion also marked the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Laurence Gouverneur Hoes on January 8, 2000.
