"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing..."

Highways and byways brought us to Monticello, "little mountain" in French, architectural diary of Thomas Jefferson, located outside Charlottesville, VA, home of the University of Virginia, of which T.J. was the founder.


Author of the Declaration of American Independence and the Virginia Code of Religious Freedom, this brilliant man spent most of his days away from the Monticello and family he loved, for the cause of Freedom.

He retired after 40 years of public service and politics and lived the remaining years (until age 80+) at Monticello.
