During our time in Norfolk we rented a car and drove to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home. It's in amazingly good condition for being over 200 years old. And it's furnished with many items that Jefferson actually owned.
The typical tour takes you through the ground floor, and you can do a self guided tour through the dependencies and grounds.
The gardens are actively farmed and some of the food ends up being served at the visitor center cafe. I liked that.
It was a lovely warm fall day and we ended our tour by walking by the cemetery where Jefferson is buried beneath a granite obelisk.
