One of the main goals of the revamped Monticello.org is to provide opportunities for visitors and staff to engage in real conversations online in the same way we do in face-to-face encounters. These new features allow you to comment, tag, and favorite content on the website as you learn fascinating new things about Monticello, Thomas Jefferson, and the Foundation.

Since 1995, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation has hosted over 220 scholars through a program of residential fellowships and travel grants at the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies. Fellowships and grants are open to all scholars working on Jefferson projects and are awarded on a competitive basis. Foreign nationals are particularly encouraged to apply. Residential accommodation may be available on a limited basis.
Isaac Granger Jefferson (1775-c.1850)[1] was a tinsmith and blacksmith. His brief memoir, written down by an interviewer in 1847, provides important, fascinating information about Monticello and its people. Isaac was the third son of two very important members of the Monticello slave labor force.
