Construction began in 1769 and was completed in 1784. The home was enlarged in 1796 and again in 1809.
It cost somewhere around $100,000 to build the property (their dollars not ours).
About 60% of the furnishings are original items Jefferson owned. Other items are period pieces or reproductions of original pieces.
