James Monroe’s Highland is a museum and historic site in Charlottesville, Virginia, dedicated to telling the stories of the 5th U.S. President James Monroe and the enslaved people who lived and worked on the property. The site presents a collection of individual narratives that illustrate broader themes in early U.S. history, including geopolitics, agriculture, and economics, through self-guided exhibitions, guided history walks, group visits, and public programs. Located in a region with a focus on heritage and archaeology, Highland positions itself within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector as a place for interpretation of colonial and early-national era life. The organization operates with a relatively small staff and maintains a public-facing footprint, including a site-based AR tour launched in 2021 to enhance the visitor experience. Highland is based in Charlottesville, covers the surrounding area, and maintains its online presence at highland.org.
