Not unlike today, the Christmas holidays were marked by gatherings with friends and family during Jefferson’s lifetime.
From wreath-making workshops to our evening holiday tours of Monticello, we have a variety of stories and traditions to share as we celebrate the 2025 holiday season.
This special tour gives you the rare opportunity to experience Monticello after dark, decorated with the style of holiday greenery found during Jefferson’s era. You'll see the first and upper floors of Monticello, including the iconic Dome Room, and learn how all people on the mountaintop – enslaved and free – celebrated the holidays.
Our fan-favorite Wreath Workshops are back! Attendees will create a beautiful door decoration that will last throughout the season.
