Ash Lawn-Highland, the Home of our 5th President James Monroe, is located on the mountain directly behind Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia.

When you visit Monticello you really need to visit Ash Lawn-Highland as well!
Two Presidents homes within 10 minutes of each other!
During a ceremony, hosted by Acting Deputy Director of the United States Mint, Dan Shaver, on Feb 13th a new coin will be presented.
THIS IS THE FIRST PLACE IN THE NATION THAT THIS COIN WILL BE AVAILABLE!
This is history being made right in our own backyard. If you live in Charlottesville, you know that we are the home of three presidents (watch my blog for more on #3).
If you are visiting our area, there is so much history here you will be amazed!
Another amazing fact is that the home of our 5th President is actually available to rent for weddings, lunches or even conferences. I invite you to see the official website for Ash Lawn Highland and I welcome your comment!
