TO UNDERSTAND THOMAS JEFFERSON, one must understand Monticello, his autobiographical statement. Monticello encompassed a house, an ornamental landscape, a farm, a plantation, a small mountain, and a large and diverse community. It encompassed the interests, talents ideals, ambitions, and realities of its creative and complex owner. Unsurpassed in elegance and style, our venues will fulfill your every vision. Our third President’s historic grounds offer a variety of inspired settings.
