FREE. Year Round. Year Round. Enjoy Monticello’s gardens and grounds at your own pace. Guests can tour the mountaintop and restored South Wing, Mulberry Row, and exhibit spaces under the house. They can also take advantage of the seasonal Garden Tour, daily Slavery at Monticello Tour, and get a picture of the iconic west view.
