Wreath on Monticello's East Front Portico windows Monticello will mark the 2008 holiday season by conducting specially-themed versions of its popular evening Signature Tours on nine dates in December. These hour-long guided tours of Thomas Jefferson’s celebrated home will offer visitors an intimate look at how the holidays were celebrated in Jefferson’s time, plus the rare opportunity to experience Monticello after dark.

Each Holiday Evening Tour will feature a relaxed-pace excursion through the rooms on the main floor of the house, which will be decked with local greenery, and a visit to the third-floor Dome Room. The tour content will focus on the atmosphere of family and fellowship that was at the center of the holiday season at Monticello.

Please note: Holiday Evening Tours are not recommended for children under age 6. Portions of this tour are not handicapped-accessible.
