Charlottesville is a truly wonderful place to live and work. There are many reasons that this savvy Charlottesville realtor has chosen the city as home. If you are looking for some unique and lively things to do in town, look no further than these seven options.

MONTICELLO
Connect with your inner historian by touring the former residency of Thomas Jefferson. Monticello is just outside town and features a 5,000-acre plantation that previously grew tobacco. The iconic home itself was designed by Jefferson.
THE RAVEN ROOM
Toby is an amateur historian and is always happy to help you find some of the most unique sights in town. On the University of Virginia campus, you’ll find author Edgar Allan Poe’s former dorm room which has been converted to a small museum. Restored to the author’s 1826 era, you’ll also see various references to his works scattered around.

KLUGE-RUHE ABORIGINAL ART COLLECTION
Art fans will love a visit to the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection on the UVA campus. Here, you’ll find both rotating and permanent exhibitions. Charlottesville is a surprisingly artsy town, and this is a great place to see the blending of culture and art.

SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK
While there are a number of nice nature areas immediately surrounding the area, a favorite of Toby Beavers Charlottesville realtor is Shenandoah National Park, which is roughly 30 miles away. In addition to a great place to see wildlife like black bears, there are a number of great hikes. My personal favorites are Hawksbill Mountain, Dark Hollow Falls, and the Old Rag Hike.

DUCK DONUTS
Charlottesville is filled with fun places to eat. A favorite place for breakfast or a quick snack is Duck Donuts, the small chain that includes a variety of wonderfully creative tastes. Whether you opt for the Beach Ball, Bacon in the Sun, Coconut Island Bliss, or another creation, it will definitely be a favorite place to visit.

VIRGINIA DISCOVERY MUSEUM
If you’re looking for something fun for the little ones, bring them to learn through exploration at Virginia Discovery Museum. Children can engage in many exhibits such as the STEM Lab, Construction Zone, Literacy Lounge, and Sensory Studio. The museum frequently offers special programs as well.
