The Thomas Jefferson Foundation owns and operates Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson and the only home in America on the elite World Heritage List of the United Nations. Since 1923, the Foundation has steadily expanded its role as a museum and educational institution. Its facilities now include the house and gardens; the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies, home to the Jefferson Library; a museum shop; and the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants. The Monticello Visitors Center houses a permanent exhibition, a theater, a second museum shop, and the Foundation’s Department of Education. About a half a million people visit Monticello each year.
