The scene of many special events such as the summer Opera Festival, the Champagne and Candlelight Tour, and the Colonial Crafts Weekend. Route 20S at I-64. A rich source of information about area sites, food, and lodging. On Route 53, several miles from the junction of Route 20S. Mountaintop home of Thomas Jefferson. Monticello, which Jefferson built and rebuilt over forty years, is the expression of his architectural, agricultural, and scientific interests.
Estate features house, grounds, gardens, orchard, and vineyard.
Tours every five minutes. A forty-five minute drive north in Orange County on Route 20. Home of President James and Dolley Madison. Restoration in process provides an interesting contrast to Monticello. Jefferson was the first to bring winemaking to central Virginia.
