Monticello

The Official Guide to Thomas Jefferson's World



The first and only official Monticello guidebook presents this remarkable and fascinating historic home as a perfect reflection of the man who created it. Crafted for the more than 700,000 annual visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as history buffs, TJ fans, and architecture enthusiasts.

For the first time, Monticello has an official guidebook that reflects the unique statesman and inventor Thomas Jefferson, his home, and his world. Showcasing the recent restoration of the home and plantation, it features information about the slaves of Mulberry Row, as well as the state-of-the-art visitor and education center. Each of the guide's 144 pages is designed to showcase the topics in its five chapters: Thomas Jefferson, Before Your Visit, The House, The Plantation, and the Neighborhood. Photographs, art and cutaways, and maps accompany featured stories both iconic and little-known from Monticello's curators.
