This historic home is almost 300 years old and was in the estate of Thomas Jefferson's father. Originally used as a tavern, it sits above the Rivanna River where a wharf at the base of the property was built by Thomas Jefferson so tobacco, farm produce and other goods could be moved by flatboat to Richmond, via a connection with the James River at Scottsville. Locust Grove Tavern was surrounded by tobacco barns and storage buildings and was at the heart of the Shadwell area (Shadwell being the farm owned by Thomas Jefferson's father).
