Monticello at a glance
What makes Monticello different: Monticello is the only incorporated municipality in all of Jefferson County, and its 1890 Opera House in the Perkins Building still hosts live performances; the surrounding county once grew about 80 percent of the world's watermelon seed and celebrates that heritage at the Watermelon Festival held every summer since 1950.
