Monticello and Mount Vernon are both estates in Virginia which had been the homes of US presidents. Monticello was designed and built by Thomas Jefferson. It was his home for 56 years. George Washington inherited Mount Vernon from his half-brother, Lawrence Washington. George and Martha Washington lived there for nearly 50 years. They are both buried in tombs on the estate. Both Mount Vernon and Monticello have become national shrines, open to the public.

What two land marks are in Virginia?
The Commonwealth of Virginia features several worthwhile landmarks, including Arlington National Cemetery, Colonial Williamsburg, Shenandoah National Park, and the Pentagon. Perhaps the state's most well-visited landmarks, however, are two of the country's earliest presidential homes: Mount Vernon and Monticello. Once the home of George Washington, America's first president (1789-1797), and his wife, Martha Washington, Mount Vernon is now one of the most popular historic estates in America. Situated along the banks of the Potomac River in northern Virginia, about 16 miles south of Washington, DC, Mount Vernon was the Washingtons' home from the time of their marriage in 1759 until the president's death in 1799. Expanded from 2,000 to 8,000 acres during Washington's time, the estate was eventually opened to the public in 1860, and since then, roughly 80 million visitors have toured the property, which now includes the lovely red-and-white mansion, several outbuildings (such as the kitchen, greenhouse, stables, and slave quarters), four different gardens, a four-acre working farm, a slave memorial, and the final resting place of George and Martha Washington. Besides thematic tours, other diversions include the Ford Orientation Center, the Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center, and George Washington's Distillery and Gristmill. Meanwhile, the 5,000-acre Monticello plantation, which is perched on a mountaintop outside Charlottesville, Virginia, was once the home of Thomas Jefferson, America's third president (1801-1809), the author of the Declaration of Independence, and the founder of the University of Virginia. Built and furnished over the course of four decades by Jefferson himself, Monticello is truly a masterpiece. In fact, this remarkable estate is the only historic house in America included on UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites. The basic admission to Monticello includes a guided 30-minute tour of the first floor of Jefferson's former home, highlighting his original furniture, art, books, and inventions; two 45-minute seasonal tours, the Slavery at Monticello Tour and the Gardens and Grounds Tour; and access to the seasonal Mountaintop Hands-on Activity Center, the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center and Smith Education Center, the interactive Griffin Discovery Room, and four imaginative exhibits that explore Jefferson's words, his architectural skills, his use of Monticello as a laboratory, and his legacy of liberty.
