Architecture Tour
Get an in-depth look at Thomas Jefferson’s "essay in architecture."
Each guided tour, which will last approximately 75 minutes, will give visitors the opportunity to view, hear about, and consider the various structural and decorative elements that have earned Monticello widespread recognition as one of the icons of American architecture. The tour route will include rooms on the main floor of the house and the third-floor Dome Room.
Please note: because the Architecture Tour includes a visit to the third floor of Monticello, it is not handicapped-accessible and is not recommended for individuals who may have difficultly climbing flights of stairs.
