At Monticello, enslaved people, free artisans, and indentured servants worked as tinsmiths, nailers, sawyers, carpenters, joiners, charcoal-burners, spinners, weavers, hostlers, and domestic servants. The work of these men, women, and children supported Jefferson’s elite household, and allowed him to build and renovate his house and carry out agricultural and industrial activities on the entire 5,000-acre Monticello plantation.
