During Thomas Jefferson’s retirement, Monticello was frequently populated with guests - both invited and not. Where did Jefferson go to get away from it all? Poplar Forest, his octagonal home in Bedford County.
Join us on Wednesday, August 10, at 1:00 p.m. ET for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker. We’ll discuss how Jefferson designed Poplar Forest, his solo and family visits to this retreat house, and the enslaved laborers who built and maintained the home.
