From the early days of Thomas Jefferson, Monticello has opened its doors for heads of state. In keeping with that tradition, we opened those same doors to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife for a requested private tour. We are always honored to share the history of Monticello and interpret Jefferson's values and leadership, as we do for visitors every day. We believe citizens and heads of state alike benefit from the reminders of history: the value of learning from past mistakes, the appreciation of perspectives not your own and hopefully a deeper understanding of humanity and cultures different from our own. Best, The Thomas Jefferson Foundation
