A Walking Tour of Monticello - US 101 

Would you want to visit Jefferson's Monticello? What other famous historical homes would you like to see?

Wonderful video, buddy. I will be in DC on Saturday! I can't wait. Going to Mount Vernon but won't make it up to Monticello, unfortunately.

I live just outside of Charlottesville and drive by Monticello every day on my way to work, and as I pass by I think to myself, what was life like for the people living back then, who was walking or riding a horse on this road 200 or 250 years ago. It’s an awe inspiring sight, and I recommend to every who visits Charlottesville, “Go see Monticello! It’s amazing!”

Grew up in a neighboring county. A few years ago, My sister was one of the few chosen to have her naturalization ceremony on the 4th of July at Monticello, There was so much going on I don’t even remember if the stage was either on the front or back yard of the mansion 😅, televisión cameras and all. But it was definitely an amazing experience. It had rained the night prior, it was a foggy morning, beautiful green trees and mist surrounded the premises, the folks dressed in costume were there, I felt like I was in a movie, it was soooo cool! I’ve lived in several towns/cities of Virginia and I can tell you that I want to retire on a nice little home on the mountains of Virginia, there’s just a different Vibe to Charlottesville that I didn’t fully appreciate until I moved away for college.

I really appreciate this tour because ive wanted to see it for years...not so sure ill ever be able to in person

I was there in my teens and again in my early thirties now in my 60's I'd like to go back.

The craziest thing about Jefferson is the day he died on July 4th 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence he wrote. John Adams also died the same day.

I have been watching your videos since 2016 loved all of them since! Keep it up just remembered to stop by every time

I went there.... totally worth seeing

Been there in grade achool. Went to Woodlawn Elementary 2nd grad through 5th. We went as a field trip!

Wow! Love the fact they mention and noted Thomas Jefferson’s children with Sally Hemings.

I a book vlogger and reviewed My Monticello, which centers around this plantation. Very informative and sheds some light on this historic property.

I'm here coz I found five cents to my curiosity I thought it's a palace or mosium I can barely read the inscription montecilio.😅😅

What a gentleman, and a property

People sure do have them blinders on..these days..

I recently read an excellent biography of Jefferson, titled "Jefferson: Architect of American Liberty." It did a great job of explaining Jefferson as a man, both the good and the bad. Jefferson is without a doubt my favorite US President, but I also recognize that his involvement in the most evil institution in American history (slavery) was awful. We can admire and celebrate the great men and women who built this country, while also recognizing they were by no means perfect people.

Hi Uncle George, Not sure if you will remember me but my name is Lily Welch I am Joseph Jarroush’s daughter Anyway I have just been made aware of your channel and I thought it was really cool!! Something that you might want to make a video about is Phineas Gage He has a pretty interesting story

Can you do a history video comparing chicago in St Louis

Monticello was primarily built by Irish itinerant builders/carpenters. His enslaved workers were supplemental to this endeavor and some learned their trade by the hired builders/carpenters. Those enslaved workers that learned this trade passed on their knowledge to other slaves thus giving them a trade with which to further their status on the plantation.

More into furniture than his personal life.

I've been there and I was not impressed it's really sad how terribly they've taken care of the dome room you could see water and mold when I was there around Christmas of 2015

What we can Thatch here ?

You have one of the coolest tatoos I've ever seen. 💯

Hey. A friend sent me a link to this. Great video. I live in Georgia so I made the Trek to Roosevelt's little white house I was a kid. There are a lot of civil War sites near me. Like a lot of republicans today, Jefferson was a man of hypocrisy.

i am more of a fan of george washingtons house design.

I was just there. I am planning on coming back with my kids.

missing your videos man

Do a video comparing st Louis to chicago

Tommy J was a badass

😁😄😄

And he goes shitting on Hamilton while having an affair with Sally Hemmings

Compare st Louis to chicago video

I watched this video out of respect for a Founding Father of this great nation. I discovered quite a few things: 1. Americans like this uploader secretly despise the Founding Fathers. They can't seem to be able to hide it. 2. At almost every opportunity the narrators - even in the video - bring up Jefferson's relationship with Sally Hemings. 3. While this isn't a praiseworthy fact, such relations were very common, in ALL landowning societies throughout the east and the west, in Jefferson's time. 4. While not skipping even a beat to bring up that relationship, the narrators DO NOT mention this prevalent fact even once. 5. If Jefferson were to be from any other race or culture, they will not even dream of gaslighting this aspect of his life. 6. It appears that according to some of these dudes at US 101, it is perfectly okay to shit in the plate you eat from. On the plus side: 1. 90% of NATURALIZED citizens in this country have FAR GREATER RESPECT and APPRECIATION for the author of the Declaration of Independence than many of these overgrown, entitled kids like this one who were born, bred - and spoiled - in this great country. 2. The day inevitably comes however, in the lives of these ardent crusaders for justice, when they realize they have been thoroughly duped - and secretly laughed at - at their own or parents' expense, by many of their school teachers, professors, the media, and career politicians etc.; that these career manipulators took away from them their youth when it mattered the most to them.
