Ethan Allen Homestead Enrichment Program: Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia with Laura Macaluso 05/19/2024

From Ethan Allen Homestead:

Few prominent Americans are as associated with a place as Thomas Jefferson is with Virginia. The heart of “Jefferson Country” is his house and plantation at Monticello, but Jefferson traveled the breadth of his home state, from his time at William & Mary in Williamsburg to the new state capital at Richmond and his retreat and plantation at Poplar Forest, near Lynchburg. In the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Jefferson was inspired to write his only book, Notes on the State of Virginia. Laura A. Macaluso presents some of the histories embedded in these places, as she takes you on a public history tour of Jefferson’s Virginia.
