From the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains to the rolling countryside, history fills Albemarle County. Horse farms and vineyards crisscross the landscape. The homes of three great presidents—Jefferson (01), Monroe and, Madison—remain beautifully

preserved. At its heart, lie the picturesque city of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, one of the nation’s great public universities and a world-renowned architectural masterpiece.

But the past is only part of the story. Take a stroll on

The Historic Downtown Mall, a unique outdoor pedestrian street, any day of the week and you will experience a thriving community enjoying all the area has to offer. With dozens of world-class restaurants, more than 120 unique shops, various

hotels, live music venues, theaters, and local sporting events, Charlottesville and Albemarle County are cited time and again as one of the best places to live in America. It’s a place where tradition is always new.

The spirit of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, third president of the United States, founder of the University of Virginia, architect, philosopher, farmer, and viticulturist, permeates Albemarle County. His ingeniously designed home, Monticello (01), and neoclassical Rotunda and Grounds of the University of Virginia are internationally acclaimed destinations, designated as World Heritage Sites by the United Nations. Visit the upper floors of Monticello —spaces never before open to the public.

A short drive will transport you to the distinctive and

very different homes of two other Founding Fathers. Highland (02), home to America’s fifth president, James Monroe, is restored as an 18th-century working farm. Learn about the lives of the president’s family, as well as the many other residents of the plantation since 1799, including the Massey family and African-American slaves and servants. The nation’s fourth president, James Madison, lived at the elegant Montpelier (03), where he developed the framework for America’s Constitution.

Along the way, travelers can enjoy a typical Colonial midday meal at the historic Michie Tavern, ca. 1784 (04).

The area’s world-class historic sites should not be missed, but you can find history around almost every corner. Centuries ago, Main Street was a Monacan Indian hunting path. It now connects the University of Virginia (01), where the Rotunda (02) was built by artisans and African-American slaves, to Downtown (03). Today, Main Street is laced with historic architecture, picturesque parks, statuary, and plaques illuminating figures from the region’s past: Jack Jouett, the Paul Revere of Virginia; Lewis and

Clark; Stonewall Jackson; and Robert E. Lee. See the courthouse in Court Square (04), which has remained in continuous use for more than 200 years, frequented by Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center (05), listed in the National Register of Historic Places, sheds light on the story of education for African Americans in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson is honored on the Grounds at the University of Virginia, but so is Edgar

Allan Poe, whose room on the Lawn is preserved. Further afield, in Scottsville, take the Hatton Ferry, the last poled ferry still operating in the United States, across the James River.

In 2009, a 180-mile-long route stretching from Monticello to Gettysburg,

Pennsylvania, was designated a National Scenic Byway, called “The Journey Through Hallowed Ground.” According to the late historian C. Vann Woodward, this scenic landscape has “soaked up more of the blood, sweat, and tears of American history than any other part of the country.”

Albemarle County is nestled within a spectacular natural landscape, and miles of hiking trails—Saunders-Monticello, Rivanna, Ivy Creek, and Ragged Mountain—showcase central Virginia’s native beauty.

Nearby, the Shenandoah National Park features some of the nation’s most beautiful wilderness. The

Skyline Drive, which runs along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is dotted with breathtaking vistas. The park’s 500 miles of hiking trails reveal cascading waterfalls and refreshingly cold swimming holes; all along the park you’ll find secluded wooded hollows and wide-open meadows, teeming with plants and wildlife.

For outdoor adventurers, the possibilities are endless: kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, cycling, horseback riding, camping, hot air ballooning, and skydiving are all within reach. Fishing or tubing along the gentle James River is a favorite summer pastime, while our winters offer first-rate skiing, and golfers enjoy local courses year round.

8The vibrant music scene is fed by the city’s unique range of venues: from the 3,500-seat Sprint Pavilion (01) to the state-of-the-art John Paul Jones Arena (02). Critically acclaimed artists play every night of the week at intimate spaces like the Jefferson Theater (03) and The Southern.

Nationally touring dance, music, theater, and comedy acts perform at the majestic Paramount Theatre and at the U.Va. and Piedmont Virginia Community College auditoriums. Many local companies—Ash Lawn Opera, the Heritage Theater Festival, the Charlottesville & University Symphony Orchestra,

Live Arts, and the Oratorio Society of Virginia—have been performing for decades.

The visual arts scene stretches from the artist studios at McGuffey Art Center to cutting-edge contemporary shows at Second Street Gallery (04) to U.Va.’s Fralin Museum of Art. The Kluge-Ruhe Collection is the only museum in the United States dedicated to Australian Aboriginal art. And for families, visit the Virginia Discovery Museum, to engage your mind, and Jump CVille (05) to, well, jump!

& WINERIES

Scenic drives through Albemarle County are unlike anywhere else in the country, with miles of gentle roads winding over hills and low mountains, opening suddenly to dramatic vistas of open space. And around any given corner you may discover a vineyard or orchard, gallery or brewpub. The website Go Green Travel Green named Charlottesville and Albemarle County the top spot in the country for agritourism.

savor where tradition is always new.

Family-run orchards and farms invite families to make memories among rows of strawberries, peaches, apples, and pumpkins. Follow one of the many driving trails to discover an abundance of treasures that are grown and made right here. The Monticello Wine Trail has over 30 wineries, located within 25 miles of Charlottesville. The Monticello Artisan Trail features artists, galleries, and workshops. The Jefferson

Heritage Trail honors the area’s first winemaker—Thomas Jefferson—highlighting the vineyards now dotting the route between his two homes, Monticello and Poplar Forest. Experience the cider revival firsthand at six of our local artisanal cideries. And the Brew Ridge Trail, featuring a half dozen breweries, celebrates Virginia craft beer. Its motto: More Breweries than Stop Lights.

With an eclectic mix of restaurants, local vineyards, and mountain trails nearby, it’s no wonder this region was voted one of the TOP 10 WINE VACATION destinations in the world by Wine Enthusiast magazine.

VILOCAL FOOD & DINING

Charlottesville has more restaurants than most cities twice its size. In USA Today/Rand McNally’s recent “Best of the Road” competition, it was named runner up in the “Best for Food” category. Farm-to-table is the region’s mantra and many restaurants showcase the region’s abundant agriculture.

Forbes Magazine cited the destination as a top spot for locavores.

Food lovers take note: some of Albemarle County’s best eats aren’t found in typical restaurants. The “hidden kitchens” in country stores, farm stands, food trucks, carts, and gas stations sell some of the area’s most celebrated cuisine.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Barracks Road Shopping Center (02) offers 80 distinctive shops, boutiques, and restaurants, all
