Tour Description

Join Monticello staff for a 90-minute walking tour into the woodlands to explore how we use archaeology to better understand the plantation and the lives of those who lived and labored here. Guests will see artifacts while learning about both the work of archaeology and the history of this land beginning with ancestral Monacan Indians through the Jeffersonian era and up to today.

Start Time: 2 pm
Duration: 90 minutes
Tours meet at the bronze plantation model near the café.
