Item Description
Discover America's last founding father by taking a house tour of Ash Lawn-Highland for up to 4 people.
Highland is the home of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States, and is located at 2050 James Monroe Parkway, Charlottesville, VA 22902. It is owned and operated by The College of William and Mary, Monroe’s alma mater.
James Monroe’s Highland offers house tours year-round. In the restored house, the rich collection of period and Monroe-family furnishings perfectly exemplifies James and Elizabeth Monroe’s international style, while also demonstrating their strong American connections. Our house tour emphasizes Monroe’s many and varied contributions to our nation’s early history. Known for his two-term presidency, James Monroe held many political offices, including roles in the Continental Congress and the U.S. Senate, and multiple terms as Governor of Virginia. The story of James Monroe’s life features the American Revolution, southern and western expansion, international diplomacy and our earliest foreign policy, critical issues surrounding slavery—including a major slave rebellion, the international slave trade, and the anti-slavery movement—Congressional compromise, and of course his eight years as President of the United States.
