Monticello

This is one of Virginia's most impressive estates. When not serving in public affairs, this was Thomas Jefferson's home from 1770 until his death in 1826. Tours include 10 of the main floor's principal rooms, which contain the statesman's furniture and personal effects. The grounds include dependencies, a 1,000-foot-long vegetable garden, roundabout flower garden, two vineyards and a re-created orchard. His grave is in the family cemetery on the estate. Open daily 8am-5pm, March-October; 9am-4:30pm, the rest of the year. Guided tours of the house depart every 5 minutes; tours of the garden offered daily.
