Three US presidents--Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe--made their homes in or near this haven for history buffs. An academic and college sports attraction, the University of Virginia--designed, built, and founded by Thomas Jefferson--is a large presence in the town. Bordered by the Blue Ridge Mountains and just two hours from Washington, DC, Charlottesville is a cultural powerhouse with deep roots. Let this third edition of 100 Things to Do in Charlottesville Before You Die be your guide to all the delightful activities and a roadmap to the true flavor and feeling of today's Charlottesville. Absorb some culture on a budget with a free concert at the Pavilion or immerse yourself in authentic Shakespeare at Blackfriars Playhouse. Feeling sporty? Take a walk in the woods along the Appalachian Trail or row a boat on the Rivanna Reservoir. Or, if that's not your cup of tea, how about stopping in for some tea at Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar or trying a new brew at North American Sake Brewery? Whether you're people-watching on the downtown pedestrian mall or hanging out on the Corner at UVA, Charlottesville-based writer Marijean Oldham offers this comprehensive list of Charlottesville to-dos, which should keep you busy from now until you die.
