Monticello was the primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson, the third

 President of the United States, who, after inheriting quite a large amount

 of land from his father, started building Monticello when he was 26 years old. 

Located just outside CharlottesvilleVirginia, in the Piedmont region, the plantation

 was originally 5,000 acres (2,000 ha), with extensive cultivation of tobacco and mixed

 crops, with labor by slaves. What started as a mainly tobacco plantation switched over 

to a wheat plantation later in Jefferson's life.
