Monticello

Monticello is the historic estate and plantation designed by Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president. Located in Virginia, it reflects his architectural vision and ideas about beauty, learning, and self-sufficiency. The house combines neoclassical design with innovative features, and the property includes gardens, fields, and Jefferson’s personal library. Today, Monticello is preserved as a National Historic Landmark, offering insight into Jefferson's life, his contributions to American history, and the complex history of slavery associated with the estate. It serves as a site for education and cultural preservation.
