Monticello

Oct 25, 2012 Monticello

This was Thomas Jefferson's home, when he wasn't living in Washington or Paris. It's on top of a hill, and he also owned a lot of the land around it.



This is the front.



Our tour guide.



There is a large vegetable garden to support the needs of the household. Jefferson did a lot of experimenting with vegetables, developing new hybrids and varieties.





The back view, which you've seen on the back of the nickel.
