noon - 5 p.m.

Located on the hill above the corner of Rugby Road and University Avenue, Carr’s Hill is home to the University's president. Currently, the home is occupied by U.Va.'s Eighth President, Teresa A. Sullivan and her husband, Douglas Laycock.

In 2009, the University celebrated the centennial of Carr’s Hill, as designed by the New York architecture firm McKim, Mead and White. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house was part of the late 1890s-to-1900s building campaign that also included Cabell, Rouss, Cocke, and Garrett Halls and the North Portico and Rotunda interior.

Tours of the gardens will be given by Master Gardener John Sauer, Carr’s Hill gardener for Presidents Hereford, O’Neil, Casteen, and Sullivan.

Please note: Carr’s Hill is a private home, and only certain areas are open.

Tours begin on the Rotunda steps - Lawn side at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The Garden Club of Virginia restored the University’s Pavilion Gardens with proceeds from Historic Garden Week, beginning with the West Pavilion gardens in 1947. Restoration included the surrounding serpentine walls, an original part of Jefferson’s Academical Village. The Garden Club of Virginia hired noted Colonial Williamsburg landscape architects Alden Hopkins and Donald Parker to design the Colonial Revival gardens. The West Pavilion Gardens were restored between 1947 and 1953 and the East Lawn between 1960 and 1965. Work in the gardens continues to be supported by the Garden Club of Virginia.

Poe registered at the University of Virginia on February 14, 1826, the second session of the University. He lived in Room 13, West Range and was an active member of the Jefferson Literary Society. The University’s Raven Society maintains Poe’s room on the West Range as recognition of his time here.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Special Presentation at 2 p.m.

The Harrison Institute/Small Special Collections Library has landscape designed by the renowned Washington D.C. firm Oehme van Sweden. The landscape architect was Eric Groft, a 1985 U.Va. graduate.

On view in the Main Gallery is “Layers of the Past: Discoveries at Flowerdew Hundred," a major exhibit of one of Virginia’s most interesting historical and archeological sites. The exhibit tells the story through material culture — the shards of the past we find in the ground — and is on display through July 2013.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION: 2 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Harrison Institute/Small Special Collections Library.

Patricia M. O’Donnell, FASLA, AICP, Principal, Heritage Landscapes LLC, discusses the progress made to date on the Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) on the Academical Village. Originally conceived of and designed by Thomas Jefferson as the core of the University of Virginia, the Academical Village has always been a complex and evolving site.

Drawing on original source materials, archaeological and landscape reports, the CLR will document the colorful story of this iconic public space over almost 200 years of history. Ms. O’Donnell's firm recently conducted similar studies of the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and the Virginia State Capitol.

On view, after the talk, will be a special showing of rare materials from the University Archives used in the Academical Village Cultural Landscape Report.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Located on Sprigg Lane, off Emmet Street just north of Alumni Hall, the Morea Garden features a special selection of shrubs and trees surrounding a historic Federal period home. The house is named after the mulberries cultivated for experiments with silkworms.

Morea was built by John Patten Emmet, one of the first professors chosen by Mr. Jefferson for the University. The large old trees and a beautifully landscaped botanical collection were started by The Albemarle Garden Club in 1964. Morea was the runner-up for the Garden Club of Virginia’s Common Wealth Award in 2005 and 2006. Tours will be limited to the gardens.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In 2001, philanthropist John W. Kluge gave an extraordinary gift of real estate to the University of Virginia Foundation for educational and charitable purposes. The 7,379-acre gift, located in southeastern Albemarle County, comprised 11 farms and estates, including historic Morven Farm. Purchased by Thomas Jefferson in 1795, Jefferson deeded the property in 1813 to David Higginbotham, a leading merchant at the nearby port of Milton on the Rivanna River. Higginbotham renamed it "Morven," Scottish for "ridge of hills." The Formal Gardens were restored in 1930 by landscape architect Annette Hoyt Flanders.
