Charlottesville, Virginia, is a vibrant modern city with strong ties to its historical past. Not only did two of our beloved United States presidents call it home (Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe), but their homes have even gone on to become iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites! While visiting Charlottesville, be sure not to miss out on the opportunity to explore these sites along with Ash Lawn-Highland – also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But that’s not all—Charlottesville boasts an impressive collection of Aboriginal art at The Kluge-Ruhe Museum and will entertain you night after night in downtown area venues like The Jefferson Theater or Paramount Theatre.
