During this free, 45-minute program, Monticello's archaeologists will discuss out they carry out excavations and research on the historic mountaintop. Students will learn about how archaeologists use artifacts and the material clues left behind in the ground to understand the lives of past people. This landscape has been home to many people through time – from Indigenous communities before colonialism and including enslaved people during its use as a plantation – and archaeology is crucial for puzzling through what life was like at Monticello.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello

Charlottesville, VA
United States

Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s plantation near Charlottesville, Va., was the center of his world. At Monticello, you will learn about Thomas Jefferson and his ideas that helped shape a nation, Monticello as an architectural icon and the stories of the free and enslaved people who lived and labored on this plantation.


Monticello is owned and operated by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, a private nonprofit corporation and was opened as a public attraction in 1924. Since then, the Foundation has instituted numerous research and educational programs and major restoration and renovation projects, and Monticello has attracted more than 27 million people.


Today, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation remains committed to a twofold mission:


  • preservation -- to conserve, protect, and maintain Monticello in a manner which leaves it enhanced and unimpaired for future generations -- and

  • education -- to interpret and present Thomas Jefferson to the widest possible audiences, including scholars and the general public.


Monticello is a National Historic Landmark and the only house in the United States designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.


From digital learning experiences with Monticello educators to onsite professional development opportunities, we offer a variety of programming for teachers and students at Monticello.
