one of the things we're striving to bring back to monticello is that monticello is more than just this house on the hill. the house is incredibly well preserved and we want people to walk in jefferson's footsteps, but we also want them to understand that monticello had nearly 200 people living here and most of them were enslaved. and so over the past several years, we've been working to restore the landscape of slavery to monticello. so when you walk outside the house, you look down on mull berry row and you can understand that there was a center of industry and enslaved life there. and that if you toured the south wing and the north wings and the dependencies underneath the house, you would see the people that jefferson enslaved here as well. and it was their work that made monticello what it was. and in many senses, jefferson who he was. when people leave monticello, i hope they get a sense of the complexity of jefferson, but also how relevant his story is to the nation that we became. here's a man who wrote "all men are created equal" and yet was a slave holder. here's a man who tru

lots of nails which i figure have come from thomas jefferson's area at monticello, and there is good evidence corroborating that. lots and lots of ceramics, lots of wine bottles which, of course, is the container of the day. before plastic bottles, glass wine-type bottles were used over and over again for all kinds of liquid storage and transport. so lots of those. some ceramics, which is interesting, that will tell us what the monroes were eating off of, the dishes that they used. that's always a really exciting moment to be able to understand the consumer choices that they made. so the house continues behind me here and probably goes under the 1870s house that belongs to the massey family. so it continues probably 20 feet or so underneath that house. and that was probably severely impacted by that construction in the 1870s. but otherwise, the part of the house that's not covered by that is really well preserved. and so it's an archeological treasure that i'm really eager to get into. james monroe is a really interesting character. he is maybe the most popular president of his time
