Monticello’s staff and volunteers preserve the structures, landscape, viewshed, and diverse narratives of an iconic American and UNESCO World Heritage site. The power of place creates a space of powerful storytelling about early American history, including Thomas Jefferson’s vision for a new republic and the contradictory and problematic reality of an economy and society dedicated to slavery and racial hierarchies. The storytelling is rich and important but also contested and challenging.
