We had just a tad of ice at Monticello this morning... 😯

Special thanks to our dedicated Gardens & Grounds, Maintenance, and Security teams who have been on the mountaintop, working hard to remove fallen tree limbs and clearing roads and walkways. We appreciate all you do!

This past weekend, we said goodbye to my grandmother Margaret Kennedy Johnstone.

She passed away in April at the age of 95 and was buried last Friday in our family graveyard at @TJMonticello.

We love and miss you, Grandmom!
