James Monroe's home, Ashlawn is in between Monticello and Blenheim, and worthwhile to visit, but nowhere near as grand as Jefferson's estate.
Staunton, Virginia is a 45-minute drive west of the city, and my favorite town in the Shenandoah Valley. It's a beautiful drive from C-Ville to Staunton and back. If you're up early enough on Saturday, you should check it out.

Awesome! Thanks for the tips. I am a history teacher so Monticello and Ashlawn are on the list for sure.
