Monticello Offers Reduced Admission Price For Locals in September

August 26, 2008

Good news for local residents! Thomas Jefferson’s former estate, science lab, and ode to Palladian architecture is offering “Good Neighbor Month” with a $10 admission price for adults living in surrounding areas, including residents of Albemarle, Augusta, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, and Orange counties and the cities of Charlottesville, Staunton, and Waynesboro. Wow, September must be a slow month!

You can also bring an out-of-town guest, and if you get them to pay full price, you get in free!
