Your first stop before beginning a new adventure should be at the Monticello Visitor Center. The staff are aware of changing local conditions and understand how to help you enjoy your experience. The visitor center is filled with tons of information such as travel itineraries, maps of "hidden" trails, and where to go in town to purchase the best local goods. There are also many of those local goods in the gift shop for your convenience. The barn adjacent to the center features THE Big 4 Tractor and other historical exhibits.
