- We finally got the chance to head down to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville VA. I had been wanting to go for a few years now. Mostly to see the beautiful gardens. But the trip surprised me and was educational. History buffs definitely need to check this place out!
We. My exwife toured Monticello and loved the Landscape, House, And the. Large shelves of books
He was not only a Statesman, Lawyer, land scaper , Architect, but a Scholar. We also loved eating. At Mickey's Grill below.the Estate. May God Bless his soul and others connected with Estate in his time frame.
Perfect music for this video! 👍👊🏻
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed!
Today was my first time going there and I love it and can't wait to go back there it is so much to see every thing and I love the room where he died such a peaceful place to go and have a great time best place ever
Sounds like you had a great visit! I agree I loved it too. Hoping to get a chance to head to Washington's Mt Vernon sometime too!
The best video of Monticello I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you so much!
We toured Monticello about 6 years ago & it was well worth it, a very peaceful & beautiful place. Nicely done video by the way.
Thank you very much!
Great place! I went along time ago. I almost got chills walking on Jefferson's terrace , knowing that he would be out there in the mornings drinking his coffee.
It is pretty great to have these old historical sites still standing today. Thankful for all the worth put into it over the years to keep it up.
Lovely video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Monticello, like Mount Vernon, is a presidential residence that has been so carefully restored and preserved that when walking through the house, one is left with the impression that its owner has just stepped away and will be returning soon. I was last there in 2007, and it looks like they have added several outbuildings since then. They have also opened the South Pavilion, which was the first permanent structure Jefferson built, and where he took his new bride (in a torrential storm) shortly after they were married. Nice video with wonderfully appropriate music. Thanks.
You're welcome! Oh yes it seems like there have been many changes since 2007. Hope you get a chance to come back for another look!
Such a beautiful home. I want to see it in person some day. Thanks for the video
I hope you get the chance to, thank you!
I dont know how I found this video exactly haha but really interesting and beautiful place. Greetings from Chile
That's RUclips for ya :) Glad it led you here! Welcome :)
Monticello is one of my favorite places to visit. I used to live right outside of Wash. DC and I would visit often. Lovely video and I LOVE the music. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much! How awesome to be able to visit this place often and see it through the seasons.
I was especially amused at Jefferson's seven day clock that continued down onto the basement wall, as well as the automatic double doors and the dumbwaiter. The tour confirmed that Thomas Jefferson is my second favorite creative genius from the American colonies.
Yes I have never seen anything like that clock before. Very interesting! Who is your first favorite creative genius from the American colonies?
Thank you for this lovely video ...I was there in 2014 and wish I was back
You are welcome 😊 me too Donna!
Thank you for this and may I say the violin music was a very nice touch
you're welcome! Glad someone appreciates my choice in music for this video. :)
Flourish Ever After I guess T F liked this kind of music too.
Coin collectors have always graded nickels based on the number of steps visible below the portico of Monticello on the reverse. By taking a tour of Monticello I was able to verify how many steps there are supposed to be. I think there was a 1950's cartoon of someone visiting Monticello and being surprised to see a big letter D to the right of the building.
Thinking of going this Summer, just needed some idea how this trip was for you..This video helped me in knowing what to expect if I do go to Monticello.
Glad it was helpful in some way! Have fun if you decide to go, I would highly recommend if you love history.
@@NickandJulie Thanks, I do!
Thank you.Loved it.Especially your nickel likeness.
I paused alot to read the plaques
It's on our "bucket list"
If you can visit the John Adams homes and Peacefield in Massachusetts
The tour is exceptional
Thanks Joseph! If you stick around this channel, very soon we will start traveling the U.S, we may visit those places. I love historical sites!
@@NickandJulie one place we went every summer for about 10 yrs. on our family vacation ,bringing our 2 youngest girls was Cape May,NJ.
It's home to 600 Victorian homes built just after the Civil War.
We own a Princess Victorian home and I have a Painting bussiness so loads of ideas and packed with cool history.
Ocean,architecture, history,tours, shopping,boardwalk etc. Something for everyone.
To name of couple:
It was the Summer White House (Congress Hall) to 6?Presidents prior to A.C.due to its Ocean breezes and birth to the Spiritualism .
As a College graduation gift to our youngest our return has been delayed.Well get back
But you simply must add it to your list,
Nice choice of music! Great video! Nice commentary.
Im heading down from Ohio as well tomorrow towards Williamsburg and think I might check this out on the way there or back...
I've been trying to go to as many presidential estates as possible. If you're all still around Ohio, head up to Fremont and check out Rutherford Hayes home. It's not quite as beautiful as Mount Vernon or what Monticello appears, but, it was a pretty nice one.
Thank you! Monticello was beautiful, hope you do make it out there. I will definitely add the Rutherford Hayes home to our list! Still trying to get to the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens sometime soon also here in OH- its not a president's house but its been called the Biltmore of OH and the garden is known worldwide. We have seen the Taft home in Cincinnati. I don't think that one is worth a trip there just for the home but we were in the area so we stopped by.
@@NickandJulie Awesome!
I didn't know about the Taft house. Garfield is in Cleveland, and looks like it would be worth it, I'm in the Columbus area so right in between it all.
I'll add the gardens to my list!
Made it to Charlottesville just a few minutes ago, about 10m from Monticello, so going in the morning (hoping for no rain) drive down was horrendous, and a downpour for all 7hrs, lol.
Thanks for the reply and tips!
@@roberthobbs5292 Yes the rain was terrible exactly when you were driving. Did the weather allow you to visit Monticello?
@@NickandJulie
8mths later, I've seen this comment. I'm gonna reply anyways, lol.
We did make it to Monticello!
It was cold on the mountain top, and raining off and on, but we still went and really enjoyed ourselves.
Absolutely beautiful!
My only regret is I didn't circle back around after the week in Williamsburg and see James Madison's Montpelier, too.
Next time!
@@roberthobbs5292 no worries! Glad you still got to see it even in the cold! Same- haven’t gotten to Montpelier yet. We visited Mt Vernon at the end of October and did a video on it recently! Loved it as well- we got a beautiful sunny day to see it.
They didn't want to look for something to eat? Michie Tavern is just around the corner! Great place for an authentic Southern meal!
Yes we would have if we didn't go there for July 4th. I felt like the restaurants would have either been closed or packed. So we chose to pack a picnic. Which is really nice too if its not as hot as it was for us.
I visited this place 3 years ago it was really nice.
awesome! I bet its beautiful right now in the fall too.
I was there in fall! I didn't knew a single piece of English.
But it was very beautiful there was this bed that I wanted to get on but I couldn't sadly. And I also love how it's located on top of a hill.
@@SUNFLOWER-ng8uf oh wow! that must have beautiful with all the colors of the trees you can see up on that hill. I can't make it there this fall. Maybe another time :)
Can you tell me the title of the music you used? Thank you!
Reallr Very Nice.... Wow
Thank you so much 😀
Thank You 2
No problem

Hi Sophie Turner, I loved you in GOT!
Sophie Turner?? Where?? :)
@@NickandJulie Driving in the car next to Steven Crowder. ;)
@@BuckandOden omg lmaooo perfect, i salute you sir
The beauty that Human carnage built. I akin it’s to visiting Auschwitz
and so your point?
Thomas Jefferson wants to know your location
He died July 4th 1826 I don't think he wants to know anything at the moment. :)
I was there in 2011. I heard the place is haunted.
Time for another visit! I follow some accounts on Instagram that show old homes that need saving, and you can always find a comment under each one saying, "it looks haunted". Probably from the shows and horror movies people watch. I never watched those things and these places look like normal old homes to me. But again, I am a Christian so ghosts do not exist. I hope it doesn't turn people away from purchasing those beautiful old properties and restoring them. Have a good day!
@@NickandJulie Ghost dont exist to you but a magical man in the sky does...gotta love the logic
@@roseandstem8054 you better believe it! ;) the Bible does not mention any stage of human existence as ghosts that stay on this earth. I do think that demons can take advantage of people who are hurting or that recently lost a loved one and appear to those people maybe in the form of what we know as "ghosts". That is just my thought as I know of a Christian who lost a brother and the brother would appear to him. The Christian knew this was not from God or godly so he fasted and prayed and the brother stopped appearing to him. So it seemed it was a demon trying to take advantage of this man's grief and pain of losing his beloved brother. I'm glad he had discernment to recognize this from reading the Word. Some are not equipped and fall for it. I am saying all this in hopes you are not bigoted towards Christianity and we can have a discussion as this is a fascinating subject. It sounds like you may be by your wording though. "magical man in the sky" or "magical sky daddy" is what atheists use all the time. lol
@@NickandJulie I took one look at your response and avoided reading it as I'm sure you are trying to justify your silly logic. It's like House says "if you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people"
@@roseandstem8054 Of course you avoided reading it. You've made up your mind about it and there's absolutely no way you could possibly be wrong bc ScIeNcE.
If Jesus himself would appear to you, you wouldn't believe anyway, you would ask for proof. Y'all need your proof. Therefore faith is a concept completely out of your understanding. As the very definition of it is strong belief based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
It's like David says, "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God.""
65 bucks..bad food expensive..michie tavern..23 bucks for buffet chicken...no discount for behind the scenes....i SAY NO..this is a horrific waste of time and exploit of TJ..it is a racket...
It certainly isn't a cheap attraction that's for sure! We brought our own lunch and am so glad I packed. Its actually a great idea to bring a picnic to save some money.
If you can't take pictures of videos inside makes no sense
of should be or
Only people who are not black would find this wonderful and amazing all those artifacts were used by slaves the grounds were managed by slaves. This is a man who acted by circumstances of his environment. Not entertaining at all
Thanks for your input Tiffany. Have a nice day.
I want to visit there as well mainly, not because he was such a amazing man, but to see what our ancestors had to endure as slaves and the amazing talent and skills they crafted to build and sculpt such and amazing property. Great visuals in the video though.
@@mrlove5161 Thank you Lamar. Yes we must always remember history especially the horrific parts to never repeat them again. I cannot imagine the strength it took to live through that. I don't think I could have survived one day in those conditions. Almost feel guilty that I don't have to live through any of this just because I was born in a different time. Poor souls.
You're attacking a museum, a place of learning. No difference then a history text book with the same topic. Are you against history books too since you're against history museums? We all see you angry over slavery and you should be. But take that up with the ones who are guilty. But the guilty are dead. So now you attack the innocent museum who aren't guilty of slavery and do nothing but teach history. Good job at your virtue signaling
