My husband and I visited Monticello a few years ago. Amazing. The history and viewing all of Jefferson’s personal possessions was unbelievable. Our tourist guide said about 2/3 of the furniture were his with some donated from private owners. Hopefully more have been added since we were there.

I believe the painting at 2:15 shows Salome with the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Although Jefferson had no use for organized religion he was a great intellectual with many interests and knew the bible very well. Remember, he was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom which was the foundation and precursor to the First Amendment to the US Constitution. (Look it up!)

Jefferson passed laws prohibiting slavery, his slaves were family, he educated them, they had jobs like by today's standards, he saved them from brutal slave traders. and further advocated against slavery. I'm the great granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson I, who is the Grandfather of President Jefferson. Jefferson I owned all of the lands that were inherited. From what I've read on the DNA results are that it proved they are Jeffersons, but it did not prove it was President Jefferson's line, it could be his Brother. Martha Jefferson Goode and Colonel Bennett Goode are my Grandparents. We welcome all cousins in this lineage and so glad that we have them all.

I'm the great grand daughter of chief pushamataha. My grandfather and your grandfather were close friends even though history records never show it. Also Jefferson said that my grandfather be buried in the congressional cemetery where Jefferson attended the funeral.

Thanks for posting. Just reading the book on John Adams by David Mc Cullough. He and Jefferson were so different. Looked at the Adam’s house and now seeing Jefferson’s says it all. Would love to get there one day. Good to see a young man interested in history! These guys were not perfect (like us!) but they gave us the opportunity to pursue liberty and happiness unlike any other nation in the world. Again thank you for the tour!

My classmates used to go to New York. My immediate classmates including me went to Williamsburg. Because of 9/11. I hope every American gets to see this houses played tag in the yard and saw how the slaves were housed - also saw the cemetery. But played hide and seek on this huge estate not knowing how important it was to every Americans heritage. Black or white. But I’ve never seen that many guns in my life

Why? There is plenty out there about Hemmings. Not everything about Thomas Jefferson has to include Sally Hemmings. Thomas Jefferson is so much more than Sally Hemmings. BTW , dna shows family line. He's one of 24 other men. I use to assume he was the father of her kids. It wasn't until I read opposing views that I now question if he is the father. Maybe someday technology will be able to pinpoint the father. But until it does, I'm sitting on the fence. What...just what if....he is NOT the father. Boy, will Monticello be wiping the egg off their face. I certainly would not feel comfortable betting everything I own on TJ being the father.

CHANGE YOUR BACKGROUND MUSIC!!! Very distracting! You should use classical violin music as that's what Jefferson would have played.

You SHOULD have a lot to say about Thomas Jefferson because the sad fact is that most people, or most Americans, do not know "the story".

Jefferson did NOT get a lot of his "architectural ideas", as you call it, from France. You're simply wrong! Jeffersons ideas, and ideals, regarding architecture were more or less basically solidified for him through his personal studies early in his life of ancient Roman and Greek architecture as interpreted by Palladio. His first name was Andrew or Andreas or something close.
