1.) All loyal fans of the Broadway sensation ‘Hamilton: An American Musical’ must attend the Hamilton Tour Takeover at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia! Explore the grounds of Monticello and find out more about one of our nation’s most fascinating founding fathers. Learn about Jefferson and Hamilton’s “dueling visions for the future of the United States.” If your stomach is grumbling after the tour, sit down for some coffee in their cafe or grab a sandwich (or pastry, if you’re searching for a little something sweet to eat). Shop for collectibles and souvenirs in the David M. Rubenstein Visitor Center. Browse their book section (which offers over 250 titles) and find a good read, hang out in their comfortable reading chairs, pick up some home decor, purchase gourmet food products, or check out their garden space and buy some historic plants.

There will be plenty of live music and cool games, too. A stand for the hot radio station Mix 107.3 will be there with their swag and prizes.
