“Thomas Jefferson owned one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World known as Natural Bridge and 157 acres surrounding the natural rock formation in Rockbridge County, Virginia. He leased the land for saltpeter mining before eventually deciding that the formation and the surrounding land should be preserved in 1815.”
