It's always interesting visiting houses from another era. Wander around Ash Lawn-Highland and try to imagine how this historic house once was.

This historically significant residence is often on the itineraries of travelers to Charlottesville. But Ash Lawn-Highland isn't the area's only drawcard. Monticello, University of Virginia, and Downtown Mall are some other interesting sights close by.
