Reviews
"Excellent walking path off Enterprise drive -new entrance- free parking -awesome walk or bike to TJ historic building. Cute gift shop. Then back same path to parking . About 2miles maybe ?"
"Neoclassical architectural masterpiece. Impressive historically accurate decades long reconstruction and restoration of Thomas Jefferson's second home. Friendly staff, great visit, and excellent website."
"Interesting to see but I definitely prefer Monticello over Poplar Forest. As of 11/23, it’s $18 for an adult ticket."
"More of a review of the walking trail ... This is a WONDERFUL evening stroll! Lightly populated in the evening save the abundance of deer. Several placards describing the lives and work of the former residents. Worth the trip."
"What a great place! Grounds are open to the public to walk around and enjoy. House tours are available for a fee and give lots of information on the history of the house and things happened daily on the property. Don't miss the house tour! It is money well spent. Very well maintained. Beautiful scenery Small gift shop onsite."
