Located just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, in the Piedmont region, the plantation was originally 5,000 acres (20 km2), with Jefferson using slaves for extensive cultivation of tobacco and mixed crops, later shifting from tobacco cultivation to wheat in response to changing markets. ift.tt/2aQqGSq http://ift.tt/2h4O1ig December 07, 2016 at 07:11PM
