About Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest

Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest is a historic retreat and villa set among landscaped grounds. Private events use the grounds after the site closes to the public; wedding ceremonies may be held on the north portico with prior approval, subject to a limit of 12 wedding-party members and/or guests on the portico. The historic house is not available for rental, though tours may be arranged when guides and staff are available. A small conference room can be made available for the wedding party to change with advance notice.
