Dome Room door open to the inside of the West Front pedimentHave you always wanted to go upstairs at Monticello?  These exclusive, daytime guided tours take you behind the scenes to private second-floor bedrooms once occupied by members of Jefferson’s family, to the iconic Dome Room on the third floor, and to the new, interactive “Crossroads” exhibition under the house.  You’ll see unique interior architectural features, learn about on-going historic restoration efforts, and gain insight into what one of Thomas Jefferson’s granddaughters called "the bustle and hurry" of life at Monticello.
