Charlottesville Buildings & Towers

Once the home of former president Thomas Jefferson, this impressive estate was first built in 1769 and wings were added over the next forty years until its completion in 1809. In addition to the house, the estate holds an 1,000 ft long vegetable garden, a flower garden, two vineyards and an orchard, to name a few. This three-story house contains 43 rooms, not including the stable and carriage houses that are located under the North Wing, and over 11,000 square feet of living space. Thomas Jefferson is buried on-site in the family cemetery. Tours are given daily and explore ten of the primary first-floor rooms.
