Have you ever met a former (or current) president?
When we realized that we were staying less than an hour away from Monticello, we planned a day trip to
explore the plantation featured on the back of the nickel. What we didn't know was that we would actually get
to meet the former president himself. (The role of Jefferson was actually played by an actor-interpreter. If you
didn't know that Jefferson had passed away nearly 200 years ago, he probably could have convinced you that
he was the real deal!)
Fun fact: Monticello has been recognized as both a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. It is the only private home in the country with a UNESCO designation.
Which president would you like to meet (or have you already met)?
