Monticello




Monticello is Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia. A trip here should  be on your bucket list. The good news is they have an excellent website, www.monticello.org.

Jefferson's Office

Here's an illustration of Jefferson's office which includes a revolving book stand, a revolving chair, his Polygraph for making copies of letters, and a variety of scientific instruments.

  1. I visited Monticello in 1983 during a trip to Washington for my son to check out Georgetown University and the Naval Academy. He was to graduate from high school in 1984 and finally choose Perdue University.
    The visit to Monticello was very interesting, as was the entire adventure. There's just so much to see and do in the area of our Capital.

  2. I visited a couple of years ago on my "Grande Tour" of the US in my RV. It was fascinating. Did you get things fixed with Elements?
