Description: Zachary Taylor's actual birth place is in dispute. The State of Virginia has concluded, however, that the Montebello estate was the most likely site, and that possibly the birth took place in a secondary house on the property. Montebello is closed to the public but there is a marker.

Address: Highway 33; 5 miles west of Gordonsville, VA and just over 20 miles from Charlottesville, VA.
