at the source of the Declaration of Independence

June 2015 • With friends

An amazing place – the home of the third president of the United States and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Surprised by the presence of a guide in Russian. The tour is in English, but with a guide it is clear what the story is about. The second amazing moment is that the house was designed by Jefferson himself from a scientific point of view. A laboratory turning into an office and a bedroom, so as not to waste a single minute. A vegetable garden with a full range of vegetables and herbs to manage with your supplies. Beautiful promenade and beautiful panorama

Monticello, Thomas Jefferson House

Dec. 2013 • With friends

Thomas Jefferson can be found on the 2 dollar bill, which is still rare, and in Monticello it is given change in the gift shop. Monticello is the manor house where Thomas Jefferson lived.
If compared in importance, then this is Lenin’s house-museum in Ulyanovsk during the era of the USSR. According to the exposition and what is shown there, this is the place where schoolchildren gain a sense of patriotism thanks to the excellent training of museum workers and interior designers. The house has been restored, you can only rent from the outside. Half of the house is just a copy made according to the drawings, half is the original building with preserved personal belongings. I liked this part the most, I really like to see how people used to live, it’s more like a museum of everyday life than a museum of one person. you understand how he lived, why he wrote and did what he did in his life. The entrance is a modern building that tells the story of who Thomas Jefferson is. This is a typical museum for America, when you can create something out of nothing with the help of technology, which I already wrote about, about the Gold Rush Museum in Seattle. Here it looks stylish, designed and very convenient to use, interactive and educational, in fact, this is a very convenient history textbook, especially for children.
Wonderful nature around, hills, beauty and garden! 🙂 in the garden everything grows organically clean and all this is the direct descendants of what was bred in Jefferson’s house, the garden has been alive and well ever since. There you can buy seeds, vegetables, and flowers.
Highly recommend to fans of early American history, atmospheric, imbued with the spirit. and another moment, you begin to understand a lot in Americans, when you look at all this, as if some kind of gap that interfered with communication is being filled 🙂

apr. 2013 • Business

I liked the estate – a very picturesque place. As if you plunge into the century before last. Very interesting tour of the house. The collision that existed in Jefferson’s life is striking. Despite the fact that he was an opponent of slavery, many Negroes worked on his estate. It is also interesting that Jefferson himself designed the estate.

Worth Seeing

Aug. 2017 • With friends

Lots of history here. The guide was very professional and knowledgeable. Allow plenty of time so you can do the research yourself. The only negative is that they rush you through the tour because there is another tour right behind you in the next room. Would have liked to spend more time given the rooms.

Worth a visit but expensive

Aug 2017 • Family Vacation

As a family of four adults and one 8 year old $121 was very expensive. Family discount would be a nice addition. The tour guide Bill was excellent with good knowledge and a sense of humour. Our 18 month old grandson who was in a stroller kindly passing there before the tour started was a bit picky and his mom took him outside. The stroller was taken completely from her by a member of staff who was not very nice to her and we felt this was outrageous. Because of the extreme heat, She only waited outside the main building until the end of the family. This spoiled our impression of our visit.

We stayed for a few hours to take a tour, visit the gift shop and museum and look around a bit. The guide was excellent. Most of the staff were helpful but not overly departed. The building and grounds were beautiful and proved to be a unique experience. I would recommend this to anyone coming here with family Disconnect for a few.

Beautiful design and administration

Aug. 2017 • For two

We decided to pass through Charlottesville on a recent trip. We wanted to see Monticello and have our recent college graduate see it. My husband and I saw this 20 years ago. Since then, much seems to be upgraded in the surrounding administrative buildings. The shop and museum are impressive. The good thing for me was the design of the Jefferson house itself. Luxury home in this place and innovation, especially lighting. The whole setting is wonderful. We arrived late at night on a summer working day – a really great time for us – no crowds, quick access to the house tour, easy going through the hotel, gardens and cellars after a very informative tour of the house. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and consideration of Raleigh’s powerful enslaved workers in this historic building – a small village. We took a simple house tour. The extra tour of the second floor of the house was an added bonus – a bit of Cher for me and that speaks for itself. Maybe one more day I would have spent more time and money on the added tours. We left at closing time, spent 2. 5 hours in total. It was just right for us.

Amazing place

July 2017 • Family fun

Such a phenomenal place to visit. If you can do non-typical excursions, I recommend them. They were not available to us. Be sure to take and participate in different programs throughout the day, you will learn a lot more. Plan for a few hours here, there is a lot to see. This is not the place where you want to travel through your visit. The restaurant inside is pretty good and it’s possible, varied lunch cost.

10 Mary 9000 9000 1) Mary 9000 1) the most “famous” girls in British history.

In 1968, at the age of 11, together with her 13-year-old girlfriend Norma,
with a break of two months, she strangled two boys, 4 and 3 years old.
The press all over the world called this girl a “spoiled seed”, a “spawn of the devil” and a “monster child”.

Mary and Norma lived next door in one of the most disadvantaged areas of Newcastle, in families where large families and poverty habitually coexisted, and where children spent most of their time playing unsupervised in the streets or in dumps. Norma’s family had 11 children, Mary’s parents had four. Her father pretended to be her uncle so that the family would not lose the allowance for a single mother. “Who wants to work? he was genuinely surprised. “Personally, I don’t need money, just enough for a pint of ale in the evenings.” Mary’s mother, a wayward beauty, suffered from mental disorders since childhood – for example, for many years she refused to eat with her family, unless she was put food in a corner under an armchair.

Mary was born when her mother was only 17 years old, shortly after an unsuccessful attempt to poison herself with pills. Four years later, the mother tried to poison her own daughter as well. Relatives took an active part in the fate of the child, but the survival instinct taught the girl the art of building a wall between herself and the outside world. This feature of Mary, along with violent fantasy, cruelty, as well as an outstanding non-childish mind, was noted by everyone who knew her. The girl never allowed herself to be kissed or hugged, she tore to shreds the ribbons and dresses given by her aunts.

At night she groaned in her sleep, jumped up a hundred times because she was afraid to urinate. She loved to fantasize, talking about her uncle’s horse farm and the beautiful black stallion she supposedly owned. She said she wanted to become a nun because the nuns are “good”. And I read the Bible all the time. She had five of them. In one of the Bibles, she pasted a list of all her deceased relatives, their addresses and dates of death …

2) John Venables and Robert Thompson

17 years ago, John Venables and his friend, the same scum as Venables, but only named Robert Thompson, were sentenced to life in prison, despite the fact that at the time of the murder they were ten years old. Their crime caused shock throughout Britain. In 1993, Venables and Thompson stole a two-year-old boy from a Liverpool supermarket, the same James Bulger, where he was with his mother, dragged him onto the railway by force, brutally beat him with sticks, doused him with paint and left him to die on the rails, hoping that the kid would be run over by the train and his death will be taken as an accident.

3) Alice Bustamant

A 15-year-old schoolgirl appeared in a Missouri court for the brutal murder of a 9-year-old girl. According to the defendant, she went to this atrocity out of pure curiosity – she wanted to know what the killer feels.
A terrible crime was committed by schoolgirl Alice Bustamant from Jefferson City, Associated Press reports. On Wednesday, a Cole County judge ruled that the girl would be tried as an adult. A few hours later, Alice was charged with premeditated murder with the use of edged weapons. She faces life imprisonment without the right to parole.

Alisa Bustamant carefully prepared for the crime, cold-bloodedly choosing the best moment for the attack. The girl dug two holes in advance, which were supposed to play the role of a grave, and then calmly went to school for a whole week, choosing the right time to massacre her nine-year-old neighbor Elizabeth Olten.

On October 21, for no apparent reason, Alice strangled the girl, slit her throat, and stabbed her body with a knife.
Subsequently, during one of the interrogations, Alice mentioned to Missouri Highway Patrol Sergeant David Rice that she “wanted to know the feelings that a person experiences in a similar situation.”

The girl confessed to the murder already on 23 October. Alice herself led the police to the place where she safely hid the body of Elizabeth. Her remains were buried in a wooded area near St. Martins, a small town west of Jefferson City. Prior to this, hundreds of volunteers combed the territory of Jefferson City and its environs in the hope of finding the missing girl, but all was in vain. We add that District Attorney Mark Richardson has not yet explained why the defendant dug two holes at once.

4) George Junius Stinney Jr.

Although there was a lot of political and racial distrust surrounding this case, most accepted that this Stinney guy was guilty of killing two girls. It was 1944, Stinney was 14, he killed two girls aged 11 and 8 and threw their bodies into a ravine. He apparently wanted to rape the 11-year-old, but the youngest interfered with him, and he decided to get rid of her. Both girls resisted, he beat them with a club. He was charged with first-degree murder, found guilty, and was sentenced to death. The sentence was carried out in the state of South Carolina.

5) Barry Loukatis

In 1996, Barry Loukatis put on his best cowboy outfit and went to his class’s algebra class. Most of his classmates found Barry’s costume ridiculous, and himself even weirder than usual. They didn’t know what this suit was hiding, but there were two pistols, a rifle and 78 rounds of ammunition. He opened fire, his first victim was 14-year-old Manuel Vela. A few seconds later, several more people fell victim to it. He began to take hostages, but made one tactical mistake, he allowed the wounded to be taken away, at the moment when he was distracted, the teacher grabbed his rifle from him.

6) Kipland Kinkel

On May 20, 1998, Kinkel was expelled from school for trying to buy stolen weapons from a classmate. He confessed to the crime and was released from the police. At home, his father told him that he would have been sent to a boarding school if he had not cooperated with the police. At 3:30 p.m., Kip pulled out his rifle hidden in his parents’ room, loaded it, went into the kitchen, and shot his father dead. At 18:00 the mother returned. Kinkel told her that he loved her and shot her – twice in the back of the head, three times in the face and once in the heart.

Later claimed that he wanted to protect his parents from the hardships they might have because of his problems with the law. Kinkel put his mother’s body in the garage and his father’s body in the bathroom. All night he listened to the same song from the movie Romeo and Juliet. On May 21, 1998, Kinkel arrived at school in his mother’s Ford. He put on a long waterproof coat to hide his weapons: a hunting knife, a rifle and two pistols, as well as cartridges.

He killed two students and wounded 24. As he was reloading his pistol, several students managed to disarm him. On November 1999 Kinkel was sentenced to 111 years in prison without the possibility of parole. At the verdict, Kinkel apologized to the court for the murders of his parents and school students.

7) Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolfe

In 1983, Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolfe began looking for victims for their entertainment. Usually it was vandalism or car theft, but once the girls showed how sick they really were. Once they knocked on the door of an unfamiliar house, an elderly woman opened it for them. Seeing two young girls of 14-15 years old, the old woman let them into the house without hesitation, hoping for an interesting conversation over a cup of tea. And she got it, the girls chatted for a long time with a cute old woman, entertaining her with interesting stories. Shirley grabbed the old woman by the neck and held her, while Cindy went to the kitchen to get the knife to give to Shirley. After receiving the knife, Shirley stabbed the old woman 28 times. The girls fled the scene but were soon arrested.

8) Joshua Phyllis

Joshua Phillips was 14 when his neighbor went missing in 1998. After seven days, his mother began to smell an unpleasant smell coming from under the bed. Under the bed, she found the corpse of a missing girl who had been beaten to death. When she asked her son, he said that he accidentally hit the girl in the eye with a bat, she started screaming, he panicked and began to beat her until she became silent. The jury did not believe his story, he was charged with first-degree murder.

9) Willy Bosket

By the age of 15, in 1978, Willy Bosket had over 2,000 crimes in New York. He never knew his father, but he knew that the man had been convicted of murder and considered it a “manly” crime. At that time in the United States, according to the criminal code, there were no criminal liability for minors, so Bosket boldly walked the streets with a knife or a gun in his pocket. Ironically, it was he who set the precedent for revising this provision. Under the new law, children as young as 13 can be tried as adults for excessive cruelty.

10) Jesse Pomeroy

Jesse Pomeroy is not the bloodiest maniac in history, but definitely one of the most brutal. On account of Pomeroy two deaths – those whom he failed to kill, he cruelly and subtly tortured. The worst thing about all this is that he started killing at the age of 12, and at the age of 16 he was sentenced to death by a court. The offender bore the nickname “Marble Eye”.

Jesse was born in 1859 in Boston to lower-middle-class parents Charles and Ruth Pomeroy. The Pomeroys were never a happy family: Charles drank and had an explosive temper. Walking with his father behind the wing for Jesse and his brother meant only one thing: now they would be beaten. Charles stripped his children naked before beginning punishment, so the connection between pain, punishment, and sexual gratification was firmly embedded in Jesse’s mind. Later, the boy repeatedly recreated the same picture, tormenting his young victims.

The Pomeroy family did not keep animals at home, because any attempt to have animals ended in the death of animals. Ruth dreamed of lovebirds, but was afraid to start them: at one time birds lived at home, but one fine day they were found with folded necks. And after Ruth saw that Jessie was torturing a neighbor’s kitten, the idea of ​​​​getting a pet at home completely disappeared.

Like many killers who started with animals, Jesse quickly got tired of such entertainment and began to look for victims among people. Of course, he chose those who were smaller and weaker than him. Pomeroy’s first victim was William Payne. In December 1871, two men were walking past a small house on Powder Horn Hill in south Boston when they heard faint screams. When they went inside, they were dumbfounded by what they saw. Four-year-old Billy Payne was suspended by his wrists from a ceiling beam. The half-naked child was almost unconscious. The men immediately untied the boy and only then saw that his back was covered with huge red welts. Billy could not tell the police anything intelligible about the criminal, and they could only hope that this was an isolated case.

Alas, this was not the case. In February 1872, Jesse lured seven-year-old Tracy Hayden to the Powder Horn neighborhood with the promise of “showing the soldiers.” Once in a secluded place, Jesse tied up Tracy and began torturing him. Hayden’s front teeth were knocked out and his nose was broken, and his eyes were blackened with blood. Hayden also could not tell the police anything, except that the tormentor had brown hair, and that he promised to cut off his penis. With such a description, there was nothing the police could do to prevent further attacks. But it was clear that the offender was clearly out of his mind and another similar case was a matter of time.

In the early spring of 1872, Jesse brought eight-year-old Robert Mayer to his lair – the boy believed that a new acquaintance would take him to the circus. Having undressed Robert, Pomeroy began to beat him with a stick and forced him to repeat curses after him. Mayer later told police that during the torture, his tormentor masturbated. Having experienced an orgasm, Jesse freed Robert, threatening to kill him if he told anyone about what had happened.

Boston parents announced a hunt for a maniac. Adults forbade their children to talk to unfamiliar teenagers, hundreds of teenagers were interrogated, several raids were organized, but the pervert eluded the police time after time. The next massacre Jesse staged in mid-July, all in the same hut on Powder Horn Hill. With seven-year-old George Pratt, to whom he promised to pay 25 cents for help with the housework, he did exactly the same as with Robert, in addition, tearing off a piece of his cheek with his teeth, slashing his nails to the point of blood and puncturing his whole body with a long sewing needle. Pomeroy tried to gouge out his victim’s eye, but the boy miraculously managed to wriggle out. In parting, Jesse bit off a piece of meat from George’s buttocks and ran away.

Less than a month later, Pomeroy kidnapped six-year-old Harry Austin, whom he dealt with in his favorite scenario. This time he took a knife with him and plunged it into Harry’s right and left sides and between his collarbones. After that, he tried to cut off the boy’s penis, but he was frightened off and he ran away. Just six days later, Jesse lured seven-year-old Joseph Kennedy to the swamp, cut him with a knife and forced him to repeat a parody of prayer, in which the words from Scripture were replaced with obscenities. When Joseph refused, Pomeroy slashed him across the face with a knife and washed him with salt water.

Six days later, a five-year-old boy was found tied to a post near the railroad tracks in South Boston. He said that he was lured here by an older boy, promising to show the soldiers, but the description of the criminal turned out to be much more valuable. Robert Gould did the police a huge favor by explaining that “the boy with the white eye” attacked him. Pomeroy’s right eye was indeed completely white – both iris and pupil – either due to cataracts or due to a viral infection. So Jesse got his nickname, which all Boston recognized: “Marble Eye”.

As is often the case with serial killers, Pomeroy was arrested almost by accident. On September 21, 1872, the police came to Jesse’s school with Joseph Kennedy, but he failed to identify his tormentor. For some unknown reason, on his way home after school, Pomeroy went to the police station. Since he never showed much remorse for his crimes, it can be assumed that for him it was part of a game with the police. Joseph was at the police station when Pomeroy entered. Seeing his victim, Jesse turned around and went to the exit, but Joseph had already noticed him and pointed out the offender to the police.

Pomeroy was locked in a cell and interrogated, but he stubbornly refused. Only when he was threatened with a hundred years imprisonment did he confess everything. Justice was done quickly. The court sent Jesse to the House of Correction in Westboro, where he was supposed to be at the age of 18. However, he was soon released on parole, and six weeks later he was back to his old ways.

On March 18, 1874, ten-year-old Kathy Curran walked into Ruth Pomeroy’s garment shop, which Jesse was opening that day. The girl asked if there were notebooks in the store, and Jesse suggested that she go down to the basement – there, they say, there is a store where they are definitely sold. Going down the stairs, Cathy realized that she had been deceived, but it was too late: Pomeroy covered her mouth with his hand and cut her throat. He dragged the body to the toilet and threw stones at it. When the girl’s body was discovered, it turned out that her head was completely crushed, and the upper part of the body had decomposed to such an extent that it was not possible to determine what wounds were on it. However, the fact that Katie’s stomach and genitals were cut with particular cruelty was immediately determined by the experts.

Naturally, Cathy’s disappearance caused panic. The girl’s mother, Mary, went looking for her. The clerk at one of the shops where Kathy went to pick up the notebook told Mary that he had sent the girl to the Pomeroys. Hearing this, Mary almost fainted: she had heard a lot about Jesse. On the way to the Pomeroy store, she met a police captain with whom she shared her experiences, and he assured her that Jesse was not a danger – he had gone through rehabilitation in a reformatory, and in addition, he had never attacked girls. Mary was turned back home, reassuring the woman that her daughter, most likely, just got lost, and within a day they would find her and bring her home.

Jessie’s thirst didn’t subside in the meantime. Despite the danger of being caught, he still tried to lure the children into abandoned houses. Most potential victims were smart enough to refuse his offers, but five-year-old Harry Field could not resist. Jesse asked him to show him the way to Vernon Street, promising to give him five cents. Having brought Pomeroy to the desired street, Harry asked for his reward, and then Jesse pushed him into the archway and ordered him to be silent. Having strayed through the streets in search of a suitable place for the execution, Pomeroy found a secluded corner, but luck that day was clearly on Harry’s side: Jesse’s neighbor, who knew about his reputation, passed by. The boy yelled at Pomeroy, and while they were arguing, little Harry ran away.

The next kid was less fortunate. In April 1874, four-year-old Horace Millen went to the bakery for a cupcake when Jesse met him along the way and suggested they go shopping together. Having bought a cupcake, Horace shared it with Jesse, who, in gratitude, offered the child to go to the port to look at the steamers. That he would kill Horace, Jesse decided as soon as he saw the baby. Therefore, he deliberately chose a secluded place where no one could interfere with him. When he reached the swamp near the port, he offered Horace a rest, and as soon as the boy sat down, Jesse slashed his throat with a knife. Annoyed by the fact that he failed to kill the baby the first time, he began to fiercely strike him anywhere. On the arms and forearms of the child, the police counted many wounds, which meant that for most of the fight Horace was alive and resisting. In the end, Jesse managed to cut his victim’s throat, but did not calm down and continued to strike, mainly in the groin area. The right eye of the baby Pomeroy was gouged out through the boy’s closed eyelid, and the investigator later counted at least 18 wounds on Horace’s chest.

The boy’s body was discovered a few hours after he was killed, and by the evening of the same day Horace’s body was identified. The most logical suspect was Pomeroy, who was immediately taken to the station and bombarded with questions: where has he been all day? Who could see him? Does he know Horace Millen? Why are there scratches on his face? Jesse answered all questions in detail, but he could not answer the most important one – what he did from 11 to 15.

After the interrogation, Pomeroy was taken to a cell, where he immediately fell asleep, while the police made casts of footprints from the crime scene. The pattern of the footprints completely matched the pattern of the soles of Jesse’s shoes, so they announced his arrest. However, he denied everything. “You can’t prove anything,” Pomeroy repeated. Captain Henry Dyer acted cunningly: he suggested that Jesse go to the funeral home to look at the body of Horace – they say, if you are innocent, then you have nothing to fear. After some hesitation, Pomeroy said he didn’t want to go, but the detectives took him to the undertaker anyway. Seeing the mutilated body of little Horace, Pomeroy could not stand it and confessed to the murder. He told the police that he had no idea how serious the crime was. “I’m sorry I did this,” he managed through tears. “Please don’t tell my mom.”

Newspapers spread the news of the maniac’s capture all over the east coast. No one remembered the presumption of innocence: everyone unanimously considered Jesse guilty. On December 10, 1874, the court also recognized his guilt. After the verdict, the case remained only with the signature of the governor – Pomeroy was sentenced to death. However, William Gaston refused to put his signature. The governor’s council voted for the death penalty twice, but Gaston was adamant. It was not until the third time that the Council voted to replace the execution with life imprisonment, and only then did the governor certify this decision.

On the evening of September 7, 1876, Jesse was transferred from the prison in Suffolk County to the prison in Charlestown, where the killer was taken to solitary confinement. Pomeroy was 16 years and 9 months old. While in prison, Jesse claimed to have learned to read several languages. Like it or not, it is not known for certain, but the psychiatrist confirmed that Pomeroy mastered German at a very decent level. In addition, he wrote poetry, studied law books, and spent decades drafting clemency petitions. In a report by psychiatrists for 1914, it was noted that during his imprisonment he made more than ten attempts to escape, demonstrating “the greatest ingenuity and perseverance, unprecedented in the history of prison.
