Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest

Just a 10-minute drive west of Lynchburg, Poplar Forest is Thomas Jefferson’s secluded retreat and a National Historic Landmark. Jefferson designed the distinctive octagonal house during his presidency and later used it as a place for rest and creativity. Today, it offers tours and special events while preservation and archaeological work continues.
