Jefferson's Monticello 2006

Becky and Brandon invited me to go to Monticello yesterday with them.

Monticello was Thomas Jefferson's plantation, and Jefferson designed the main house. Monticello is just south of the Rivanna Gap. A lot of the of what you see when you walk around the property is the history of the slaves who lived on the property.
