Today we visited Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. We went on a tour of his home and saw some interesting items in the museum. We also walked through the "dependencies," which is where the slaves lived. It was appropriate to see this after hearing Harold's presentation at Great Hope Plantation.

We then went on to see James Madison's home. This is called Montpelier. Both homes are extremely impressive. We were able to go to thr archaeology lab to see where archaeologists work to discover more about Montpelier. It was a great day!
