Jefferson County

Jefferson County is a small, quiet, relaxing community where there is not a single traffic light within the entire county. The area’s rural nature and small-town Southern hospitality will capture your heart. Monticello’s charming downtown area is graced by historic buildings, including a circa-1890 opera house still in use today as a working theatrical venue, a quaint roundabout encircling the Courthouse, various eateries, parks, shops, Antebellum homes, and spectacular live oak canopies draped with Spanish moss. Enjoy the sleepy town atmosphere and year-round outdoor events and recreational activities like hiking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, bird-watching, equine eventing, go-karting, hunting, and bike tours.
