Today, in honor of Juneteenth, we highlight the Contemplative Site here at Monticello. Located on the historic mountaintop, the Contemplative Site is a space to reflect upon the lives and legacies of the 607 people enslaved by Thomas Jefferson over the course of his life. The site’s 60-foot-long steel wall lists their known names. Blank spaces ensure that new names can be added as we learn more.

This month, our Restoration team began an important project: repainting some of Monticello’s major exterior architectural elements. 🎨 From the entablature and balustrade to the dome plinths and portico pediments, each detail is receiving careful attention to protect the house from the elements and preserve its historic character. The last full exterior painting took place more than a decade ago. This season’s work helps ensure Monticello remains strong and vibrant as we prepare to mark America’

Did you know that Jefferson designed Monticello's roof and both its L-shaped wings to collect water for the mountaintop? Keeping the Monticello mountain supplied with fresh water was a constant struggle. Guides Charles Morrill and Grace Klonoski describe the various solutions Jefferson employed to collect and store water as well as the recreation of a period water pump for one of the house's cisterns. | Thomas Jefferson's Monticello

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.
