This view shows the granite obelisk that marks Thomas Jefferson's grave in the family cemetery on the hilltop at Monticello, his home near Charlottesville, Virginia. Jefferson designed the simple monument himself and wrote its inscription, choosing to be remembered for the Declaration of Independence, the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and the University of Virginia rather than for the offices he held. Around 1908, the house and grounds were still privately owned, and the grave drew visitors who came to see the place where the third president was buried.
