In designing Monticello, Jefferson strived to bring the inside out and the outside in. In some cases around the house, this idea works too well, welcoming unwanted elements which cause damage to its structure and the objects inside. Hear from our Conservator and Curator of Historic Architecture, Lucy Midelfort, who explains the recent project to restore and protect Monticello's Venetian Porches from the elements.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, 1827: Thomas Jefferson's estate sale begins at Monticello, resulting in the sale of more than 100 enslaved men and women. The impetus for the sale was simple: Jefferson’s enormous debt. As was customary at the time, Jefferson's debt became the responsibility of his heirs—and a living nightmare for the men, women, and children held in bondage who knew they would be sold to cover that debt.
