• 1824 – Beginning this day, the marquis de Lafayette, whom Thomas Jefferson first met in 1781 and grew close to during his time in France, visited Monticello for 11 days as part of a larger tour of the country he had helped gain independence.
• 1897 – Albemarle residents witnessed the first local rail accident. Three miles east of Charlottesville, near Shadwell, Train Number 4 derailed going around a curve.
