Walkin' Notes: Monticello

Jefferson County Democratic Party HQ

Chiles writes in the Walkin' Notes:

Started off bright and early this morning for Monticello. Walking into Jefferson County, it struck me the name is certainly appropriate. This country is beautiful, very much like Virginia. Walking into Monticello made me think of Jefferson's home at Monticello that I had visited with my family some time ago.

Jefferson County, the Eastern edge of the Old Cotton Belt Counties, is a Democratic county thanks to its large black community. It's like Old Virginia in more ways than one.
