Michie Tavern & Monticello: Home of Thomas Jefferson

 

Upon arrival in Charlottesville, we will go to Michie Tavern, one of the oldest homesteads in Virginia. Dine on hearty midday fare in the Tavern’s Ordinary where you are greeted by servers in period attire. This afternoon, we will visit Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, the third US President, author of the Declaration of Independence, and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, as well as a founder of the University of Virginia. Perched on a mountaintop overlooking the city of Charlottesville, Monticello is a majestic reminder of Jefferson’s creativity and talent. No other home in the United States more accurately reflects the personality of its owner than Monticello, Jefferson’s architectural masterpiece and beloved mountaintop home. Tours at Monticello range from the intimacy of Jefferson’s private suite of rooms, to the sensations of his gardens, orchards, and vineyards, to the stories of slaves who worked and lived on the plantation. Returning home after an enjoyable day in Charlottesville. Arriving approximately 10:00 PM. (L)
