A home and working farm for nearly 300 years, Tuckahoe Plantation is the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson. Tuckahoe is considered by architectural historians to have one of the most complete eighteenth century plantation layouts in North America. A beautiful example of the early Georgian Period, Tuckahoe still contains the rare outbuildings which were the office and schoolhouse where Thomas Jefferson began his education. Tuckahoe is the only early Randolph home still standing on its original site and contains outstanding interior paneling and embellishments. The rambling gardens of Tuckahoe draw visitors all times of year for their show of bloom from March through October. Tuckahoe is owned privately today and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1969.

The mansion is available for private tours by appointment. Please contact our tour guide, Georgia at 804-774-1614 to schedule.

The grounds are available for private events. Please contact our events coordinator, Bonnie at 804-971-8329 for additional information. 

Price Information

  • $5.00 per person for self-guided tours. Please contact our tour guide for guided historic tours 804-774-1614.
