Low backless concrete benches characterize the southern half of the park, while black powder-coated backed benches are found within the northern half of the park. The black benches are typically edged by domed metal trash receptacles. The concrete benches were added circa 1955, while the black metal benches and trash receptacles are a more contemporary addition. Another historic feature of the park is a stacked pair of millstones set within a circular segment of walkway west of the statue. The millstones are part of the original park design. They are said to have been included for their historical value as a former part of Shadwell, the farm operated by Thomas Jefferson’s father, Peter Jefferson, along the Rivanna River during the mid-eighteenth century.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/master/pnp/habshaer/va/va2300/va2308/data/va2308data.pdf|title=HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY|publisher=National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior}}</ref></ins></div></td></tr>
