Not unlike today, the Christmas holidays were marked by gatherings with friends and family during Jefferson’s lifetime.

From wreath-making workshops to our evening tours of Monticello, we have a variety of stories and traditions to share as we celebrate the 2024 holiday season.

Open daily through the holidays, except Nov. 28 and Dec. 24-25

Holiday Evening Tours

You'll see the first and upper floors of Monticello, including the iconic Dome Room, and learn how all people on the mountaintop – enslaved and free – celebrated the holidays.
