Monticello







On Saturday, June 6th we went to Monticello - Thomas Jefferson's home. We as a family really enjoyed the visit. He loved educating people. He loved variety in his garden.
The first picture - the man was demonstrating basket making. We learned how they get the wood so thin to make the baskets. In the back ground is part of the garden.
Picture #2 - the man was making nails. The garden again is in the back ground.
Picture #3 - the garden is around 2 acres. It is three football fields long. I loved the garden.
Picture #4 - is of the back side of the house. He leveled the mountain top off first, so that he could have views on all four sides.
