Let's take a stroll around the grounds at Monticello.

Monticello was the home that was designed and built for Thomas Jefferson. Why look, here is he now.

As it is a mountaintop home, there are plenty of stairs and grades to overcome!!

The views in every direction are impressive!

There were extensive gardens that would have been worked sadly by slave labor.

I must say this post was inspired by Wednesday Walk, so a big shout out to @tattoodjay for doing a great job hosting it every week. Always a pleasure to post to it.

This is the front entrance to the residence.

The iconic view is commonly referred to as the nickel view, which is the back of the home...

Contrasted with the usual slave home cabin...

A brick pathway leads down the mountain to President Jefferson's gave.

Thanks much for tagging along!
