This house is a big contrast to Monticello only 2.5 miles down the road. Monroe's house sits down in the valley and looks up at Jefferson's house atop the adjacent hill. Monroe moved to this site in part because of Jefferson but obviously was more careful with his money and did not have as much money to start off with... more

We went to this house during a recent trip (5-08) having been to Thomas Jefferson's house last year. It is much smaller and less grand but has beautiful grounds. The tour was too long - maybe too much information. Touring an old home to me doesn't mean hearing about every piece of furniture or dress displayed. Realizing that the smallness... more

The house and grounds are well maintained. The staff gives guided tours of the house and they are very helpful. Monroe was Thomas Jefferson's neighbor so Monticello is right next door. more

Ash Lawn - Highland is right down the road from Jefferson's Monticello, the home of James Monroe, and one of three presidential homes in the central VA area. My fiance and I visit Highland, Monticello, and Madison's Montpelier in the same weekend. Of the three Highland is easily the least grand and opulant. The grounds are considerably smaller than either... more
