Monticello was Thomas Jefferson's 40-year labor of love, continually under construction and renovation during his lifetime. It is the only US house listed on the United Nation's World Heritage List of sites to be protected at all cost. Visitors will see many of the curious inventions designed by Jefferson, the Renaissance man. Discover the library holdings of Jefferson, the politician and statesman, and stroll through the green house and fruit, flower and vegetable gardens of this avid horticulturalist.
