In this segment, we discuss the well-preserved state of Monticello's architecture, and specifically the role of the Levy family in preserving this American icon. Monticello Guide Holly Haliniewski tells the story of Uriah Phillips Levy, his admiration for Thomas Jefferson, and the preservation efforts of Levy and his nephew, Jefferson Monroe Levy. We also acknowledge the Levy family's Jewish heritage, and the connection to Jefferson's work toward religious freedom in the United States.
