VIRGINIA: HOME OF PRESIDENTS OPEN DOORS ON HISTORY AT THE 10 RESIDENCES THAT ARE STILL STANDING
On a mountaintop in Albemarle County overlooking Charlottesville, is [Thomas Jefferson]'s beloved Monticello. Jefferson designed and oversaw construction of his home over a period of 40 years, beginning in 1768.

The orchard, vegetable garden and vineyard have been recreated for viewing; and archaeological excavations, under way on the grounds, can be seen. In 1799, [James Monroe] and his family moved into their Charlottesville \"cabin castle,\" adjacent to Jefferson's Monticello.

It is said that Jefferson and Monroe communicated with each other by means of a visual signal system between the two houses. Today, visitors to the estate can see the fifth president's original possessions in period-room settings and explore a boxwood garden and a 535-acre working farm. Resident peacocks make an unusual attraction as they roam the yards and announce the presence of visitors with a loud, unearthly scream.
