Monticello

Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's historic plantation estate near Charlottesville, Virginia, was his home and an architectural project that he designed and revised from 1769 to 1809. Enslaved people laboured on the estate, which is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the University of Virginia's architectural ensemble. Monticello appeared on the reverse of the U.S. five-cent coin from 1938; after a two-year interruption in 2004–2005, a revised rendition returned in 2006.
