Historical Home of President James Monroe
This place is actually located in Central Virginia and used to be the home of the fifth president of the United States James Monroe. Ash-Lawn Highland was occupied by then President Monroe together with his wife and kids in 1799.
The picture that you see is the actual image of the house when the Monroe’s lived there. It was just reconstructed using and basing it from a 1908 photograph, re-built and restored into its original settings complete with the farm settings or atmosphere.
Aside from its farm atmosphere or ambiance, tourists can experience some events which are annually held here. Events like operas, plantation days, wine festivals and of course the Christmas festivities. Definitely tourists can get some souvenirs that they can buy through the Ash-Lawn Highland's gift shop for its memorabilia. Check out this Virginia garden and arboretum.
