Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Charlottesville is home to the University of Virginia, which bears mentioning particularly due to the designer of its central campus: Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and one of the Founding Fathers. In fact, the entire city is peppered with monuments and history pertaining to Jefferson.

His plantation, Monticello, sits just outside the city limits and is open for visitors to explore the mansion, extensive grounds, and reconstructed slave quarters.
