Item Description
Have you always wanted to go upstairs at Monticello?
This exclusive pass takes you, and up to four (4) of your guests, on a private tour behind the scenes, through the first floor of Monticello and up the narrow staircase to explore the family quarters on the second and third floors, including the iconic Dome Room. Along the way you will see unique architectural features and visit newly restored spaces that reveal the complexities of family life at Monticello, as well as the lives of Jefferson’s enslaved servants. The Behind-the-Scenes tour provides a fuller picture of life at Monticello, and a better understanding of the man who authored the Declaration of Independence.
The winner will also receive a special one-of-a-kind Gift Basket!
The Gift Basket includes a variety of items froom our gift shop, including some local Virginia favorites.
A curated collection of our best locally made foods includes, raw honey infused with orange, fig preserves, a special Monticello coffee blend roasted in small batches, and an envelope of English Breakfast tea. Our “Best” gift box also includes Virginia’s famous large, slightly salty peanuts, and a gourmet mix of nuts and fruit. Grow your own Nasturtiums – an ornamental yet edible flower Thomas Jefferson cultivated – by planting our heirloom seeds directly in the wooden box!
