A Monumental Discovery
Archaeologists began studying Monticello again after there were some restoration efforts in 2017. They discovered another piece of evidence, the long- concealed living quarters of Sally! For several decades this was a mystery.
Hidden in Time
Sally’s room was completely hidden from plain sight and it was located in the South Pavilion of Monticello. A modern bathroom was actually installed over it in 1941 because no one knew it was there. Despite another renovation of the bathroom in 1960, the room still wasn’t revealed. There was new evidence that lead archaeologists to this new 2017 discovery.
