Calling all young scholars: Home Educators' Day!

Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center and Monticello (map)
Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Reservations: Required

Explore the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center including the film Thomas Jefferson’s World, and innovative exhibitions on architecture, the Monticello plantation, and the creation of the United States, and the hands-on Griffin Discovery Room. Then, take a special guided tour of Monticello, the house where Jefferson enjoyed his retirement years with his large extended family.

Visit Monticello's Mulberry Row to learn more about the lives of enslaved people who lived and worked at Monticello, and roll hoops and play games on the West Lawn, just as Jefferson’s grandchildren did 200 years ago. Stop by the interactive indoor and outdoor activity stations that will allow students to explore a variety of Jeffersonian topics.

Light meals and refreshments are available for purchase at the Monticello Café, and the Monticello Museum Shop provides shopping opportunities for books and other learning materials related to the exploration of the worlds of Thomas Jefferson.

Mary, thanks for your question. The Visitor's Center opens at 10AM on Home Educators' Day; that is in keeping with our winter hours. We look forward to welcoming students and their families then!

If we have a reservation for the tour at 10:25, can we get into the Visitor's Center at 9?
