Thomas Jefferson's Home
Monticello is the primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson, who
designed it. He was the principal author of the United States
Declaration of Independence, third President of the United
States, and founder of the University of Virginia. Located just
outside Charlottesville, Virginia in the Piedmont region, the
plantation was originally 5,000 acres, with extensive cultivation of
tobacco and mixed crops, with labor by slaves.
The tour inside the home ran about 40 minutes. Sawyer did well,
but obviously hearing about old stuff at age 3 isn't a huge draw.
