Monticello has hosted many visitors in its over two-hundred-year history, both as the home of Thomas Jefferson and as a museum. This week’s livestreams discus what visiting Monticello was like in Jefferson’s time and today.

First up, join us for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker, on Tuesday, August 4, at 1:00pm EDT. We'll discuss the many people who came to Monticello during Jefferson's lifetime, and the enslaved people behind the scenes who made Jefferson’s reputation for hospitality possible.
