You arrive in Virginia and travel to the historical home of Thomas Jefferson – Monticello. It is incredible to see in person. You’ve heard that Jefferson designed the house himself and it clearly is unique. There’s nothing else like it, well, anywhere.

Jefferson was the architect of his home- Monticello. It took Jefferson around 40 years to finish the house’s 33 rooms on four floors. Most of the rooms were octagonal, as he loved the shape. The doors were rigged with a special handle so that two doors could be closed using just one handle. He had decorated the ceiling with skylights because he wanted to bring the beauty of the outside in. Come inside and explore this miraculous home!
