Event Details

S.F. filmmaker tells the story of the Jewish family who saved Jefferson’s estate.

Today, Monticello — Thomas Jefferson’s plantation in the hills overlooking Charlottesville, Virginia — is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular tourist attraction. But the fate of the property was very much in doubt following Jefferson’s death in 1826. It lay in disrepair for eight years until a Jewish Navy lieutenant came along, bought the place, and began restoring it as a way of honoring Jefferson’s legacy.

Uriah Phillips Levy and his nephew, Jefferson Monroe Levy, owned Monticello for 89 years, longer than Jefferson himself. Their story is the subject of independent filmmaker Steven Pressman’s new documentary, “The Levys of Monticello.”
