George Washington'e World- Thomas Jefferson

We thought it fascinating today as we read from George Washington's World how much Thomas Jefferson loved his "hill". He loved it so much that he wanted to be buried there. As we went on a search to find out about his loved home, Monticello captured our interest. Watch these videos and see if doesn't capture yours as well. (Visit the Monticello sight HERE to explore a 3D view of the house- looks more like a mansion to me)

Here is a fascinating video about the man who build his own home, which by the way took 40 years.



This short clip is fascinating as well- it is just the trailer to the movie they show if you visit Monticello- no fair to us who can't just up and go take a day trip to the house.
