Event Description

Tours offered at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. both days

Since 1989, using Jefferson’s documents and letters as their guide, Poplar Forest’s Restoration Department has worked to restore the villa to its Jefferson-era appearance. See the recently completed frieze in the parlor entablature, the restored fireplaces and the freshly repainted interior, and learn about the meticulous restoration of what Jefferson affectionately called the “Best dwelling house in the state…” on an hour-long tour guided with Austin Englund, Restoration Supervisor.

Tickets for the Architectural Restoration Behind-the-Scenes Talk and Tour are $30 in advance and $35 day-of. Admission also includes self-guided exploration of exhibits in the lower level of the house, the Wing of Offices, the ornamental grounds and the Quarter Site. Reservations are highly recommended as space is limited.

*Please note, there are no refunds for event tickets for any reason.
