Join us on Tuesday, March 7th at 1:00 pm ET for a live Q&A talk with architectural historian and author of "The Jeffersons at Shadwell," Susan Kern. Kern will discuss her work studying the Thomas Jefferson Foundation's early restoration efforts at Monticello, how visitors encountered the museum during its first few decades, and how those efforts and experiences have changed since.

This 45-minute guided experience includes first floor spaces in Thomas Jefferson’s home, the West Lawn, and the South Wing. You’ll learn about Jefferson and his vision for America, the realities of slavery on the Monticello plantation, and the mountaintop’s iconic architecture. This popular pass includes access to our gardens, grounds, walking tours, family-friendly activities, and exhibits.

Have you always wanted to go upstairs at Monticello? This exclusive pass takes you behind the scenes: through the first floor of Monticello and up the narrow staircase to explore the private quarters on the second and third floors, including the iconic Dome Room.

Visit our newest exhibition and learn more about the document that started it all. See a rare engraving of the Declaration of Independence, test your knowledge about America's history, and learn more about the impact of the Declaration around the world.
