Monticello
Monticello was the primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson who began designing and building the estate in 1769 after inheriting land from his father. Monticello is the autobiographical masterpiece of Thomas Jefferson—designed and redesigned and built and rebuilt for more than forty years. Its surrounding gardens were a botanic showpiece, a source of food, and an experimental laboratory of ornamental and useful plants from around the world. (Charlottesville, Virginia, USA)
