Comments:  Mt. Walla sits on a bluff overlooking Scottsville and the James River.  John Scott built this home around 1775, and in 1822, Peter Field Jefferson, son of Randolph Jefferson and nephew of Thomas Jefferson, purchased the property from Scott.  Jefferson's family members are buried in Mount Walla's private cemetery.  Shown below is a more current photo of Mt. Walla.
