The Rotunda - Charlottesville, Va - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

When visiting the campus be sure to take one of the free guided tours of The Rotunda. A tour lasts about an hour and is well worth the effort if you are a history buff. Among the surprising facts offered by the tour guides is that in 1817 the cornerstone of the first building on campus was laid, not at the Rotunda, but at Pavilion VII. A placard near Pavilion VII describes the cornerstone event and is featured near the conclusion of the tour which ends on the Lawn.
