Notes
  • Significance: Ashlawn, known as the home of James Monroe, fifth president of the United States, was situated on 3500 acres adjacent to Monticello on Carter's Mountain when Monroe purchased it in 1793. Monroe labored intermittently on his "cabin castle" for more than 30 years until he was forced to sell it to pay off debts in 1825. At that time, the plantation was known as "The Highlands" and was not until after Monroe's death in 1831 that it became known as Ashlawn. After Monroe's death, substantial additions were made, and in 1930 Jay Johns began restoring the original portions and opened it to the public. Presently the house and surrounding acreage is owned by the College of William and Mary, which maintains it and continues the restoration efforts.
