The tent features activities from Jefferson's era, including brickmaking, building a bucket, and writing with a quill pen. There is also a toddler's corner with puzzles and coloring pages. The adults must accompany children to the tent. In the hands-on history tent, make a brick, learn archaeology techniques and write with a quill pen. Self guided grounds tours are also available.
Visitors can walk the grounds with brochures describing the site and the enslaved workers.
They can also view the exhibits at the restoration workshop, archaeology laboratory, and slave site, as well as the exhibits in the cellar. The self guided tour does not include the hands-on history tent. Group tours are available year-round by appointment at a discounted rate. Picnic tables are available on site, and there are vending machines with drinks and snacks. Smoking, photography and videography are not permitted inside the house.
