Home of Thomas Jefferson
Situated on a mountaintop outside Charlottesville, Virginia, Monticello, a 5,000-acre plantation, was the home of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, third president of the United States, and founder of the University of Virginia. Monticello is the only historic house in the U.S. on the United Nations' World Heritage List.
Monticello is the autobiographical masterpiece of Thomas Jefferson — designed and redesigned and built and rebuilt for more than forty years.
