This is why YouTube is so important. If you’re unable to go to these places or see the details and hear the stories, you have a front row seat on this platform. I’ve been to Monticello but was never able to tour the home. The area around in Charlottesville, is Devine and beautiful to drive. I know the history there has its peaks and valleys but the beauty is undenied.

Mr. Jefferson is a national treasure. A great Renaissance man. We owe him a huge debt. The story of Monticello is all about how his intellect formed our nation. Thanks for the upstairs tour.

A beautiful home both inside and out. Loved seeing the back side of walls and doors. I don't foresee being able to visit this part of the country anytime soon and am very grateful to the craftsmen, historians, guides etc. who have taken the time to film this glimpse of Monticello and share it with all of us. Thank you!

My father was in the army for WWII reconstruction. He said he tried visiting monticello but it was closed at the time. He was fortunate that he was in uniform that day, and a kind person at Monticello let him come in and see what they were doing. The wall was dismantled and they showed the clock system that goes down through the floor. It was fascinating for my father who was a mechanical engineer. He was glad for the rest of his life to have had that experience.

I grew up in Charlottesville, not far from Monticello. In winter, when many trees were bare, I could see the dome of Monticello as I washed dishes in our kitchen. Mr. Jefferson and my proud Virginia upbringing contributed much to my love of history.

Thank you for this video. I’ll never see the home again in person, but you’ve brought it alive again for me in memory.

I went to Jefferson home when I was 15 and now I am 70. I must say that I was very impressed with this house and the tour. Something everyone should see.
-
This tour was SO well done. I have been there three times and LOVED it every time! Thank you for showing us the second and third floors.

Thomas Jefferson was such an interesting person. From an early age he learned to read and write several different languages. He never stopped leaning and his inventions and the experiments with his garden plants and trees around Monticello were amazing. I wish people would take the time to get to really know the man he was. He was definitely a man for his time. Monticello is a true national treasure.

I visited Montecello some 35 years ago. It was so amazing. I have a friend whose wife was an expert on ancient plants for the museum. To keep everything as true to history as possible. I'm always so impressed with how Jefferson thought. He was a man ahead of his time in so many ways, and yet a man exactly of his time in others. A dichotomy.

Who could give this a thumbs down. Appreciate all the work it takes to keep Monticello intact for next generations.

Monticello is such an unexpected jewel box of a house. It’s well worth the trip up the hill.

Miss being at Monticello. Loved the 5 yrs I worked there.

Thomas Jefferson was my 6th great uncle. I really enjoyed this, thank you.
-
I am very, very thankful the upstairs has been furnished and restored with such beauty and care. I always wanted to see the upstairs and remember practically begging to see it once as a teenager with my parents which was forbidden in the 1970s.

The architecture. I love historical houses.

I got to visit Monticello as a girl of 13, in 1965. Of course then we only got to see the ground floor and the gardens, but I was completely enchanted. And it was so lovely to find this video and get to see the second floor and the dome room for the first time. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Mt. Vernon is a great home to see too.
-
I was at Monticello in 1973. Beautiful house. Good memories.
-
Never been there but now I feel I have. Jefferson’s story has always interested me.
