The Virginia Countryside

To understand Thomas Jefferson, one must understand Monticello - his autobiographical statement to the world and a critical part of our American heritage. For almost 100 years, Monticello (the historic home designed and lived in by Jefferson himself, ornamental grounds, farm and plantation) has been maintained and kept open to the public and is only a short 10 minute drive from Keswick.
