Through our local partner, Jefferson’s Virginia, Visit Director Shirley Midyette meets participating guests at Keswick Hall for a visit to Jefferson’s Monticello, Madison’s Montpelier or Monroe’s Ash Lawn-Highland. Shirley arranges the House tour reservation time and admission tickets for guests in advance of the visit and accompanies them on the tour.
During the site visit, Shirley talks with guests and answers their questions about the three former Presidents, known as the "Virginia Dynasty", and their varied interests, while guiding the group through the gardens, the plantation life, and the Visitor Center exhibits & museum shops. Shirley is a former Monticello guide with over 10 years experience.
In addition, Shirley conducts a tour of Jefferson’s Academical Village (including the Rotunda) on The Lawn at the University of Virginia.
