Ash Lawn-Highland — James Monroe Museum
Historic House
The working plantation home of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States, built 1799 on land Monroe purchased at Jefferson's urging to keep a circle of like-minded friends near Monticello. Monroe was a veteran of the Revolution — wounded at the Battle of Trenton, December 26, 1776 — and his time at Highland reflects the post-Revolutionary generation's effort to build the republican society they had fought for. The College of William & Mary manages the site. Monroe's Revolutionary service, including his years as a Continental officer and his later diplomatic role in the French Revolution, is interpreted in the house's exhibits.
