What is now known as the Poplar Forest, was inherited by Thomas Jefferson and his wife in 1773 by her father. Jefferson made most of his cash earnings from the tobacco farm situated there. Today sits the house that Jefferson designed and began building in 1806, and was primarily used as a summer retreat and place where he could supervise his farm. Restorations have been taking place since 1984 and are still in progress. The sight is open to visitors from April to November excluding holidays.
