Join archaeologists on an hour and a half walking tour to hidden parts of the plantation and learn how archaeology informs our understanding of the lives of those who lived and worked at Monticello. In honor of Black History Month, archaeologists will take visitors to various sites along the historic Fourth Roundabout and will end at recent excavations of a late-18th-century domestic site where enslaved agricultural laborers once lived.
