Monticello was the highlight of our time in Charlottesville. It’s Thomas Jefferson’s residence which has been minted on the back of the nickel. Then we continued our road trip south to Durham / Raleigh to visit a good friend from college.

Monticello

Monticello is the home of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd president and one of the founding fathers of the United States.

He was generally perceived as a good president. The ironic part is that he was the principal author of Declaration of Independence which states “all men are created equal”, yet he personally owned ~600 slaves and secretly fathered 6 children with one of them, Sally Hemings.

Highly recommend this tour. The tour guide was compassionate and thoughtful when discussing the controversial topic of slavery at Monticello.
