First Skype: Which Famous Persons House Am I In?

      Right now we are starting the 24 Hour World Tour and we just connected with our first Skype! It is a Mystery Skype where we try to guess which famous person's house that that we are Skyping with. Starting off, there is Native American weapons, tools, and clothing which is made of bison skin. We also looked at some maps of the area. After asking a few location questions, we found out that she is located in the United States of America and is Virginia, and is in Monticello... Thomas Jeffersons house! 
      There are so many artifacts there, that there are too many to count! About 70% of the items there belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Even the mirrors and instruments that he used are still there. Thomas and his wife, Margret, are buried on site, at the cemetery there. He wrote over 70,000 letters in the office of his house. Thomas was very clever and organized, and he kept inventory of his items. The cemetery that Thomas Jefferson is buried in only allows decedents with his wife and his best friend from when he was a child.
