In Virginia, Thomas Jefferson’s mark can still be found everywhere – from architecture to history and even culinary traditions. This tour will introduce Jefferson as a multi-dimensional man. Guided tours at three of his homes – Monticello, Poplar Forest and Tuckahoe – reveal a man shaped by his surroundings – and who shaped his surroundings. His genius for architecture is reflected not only at his homes but also at the Virginia Capitol, and The Lawn of the University of Virginia, both of which he designed. The spirit of revolution will come alive at a thrilling re-enactment of Patrick Henry’s Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death! speech in the very place that it happened. Jefferson was there to witness it first-hand. He loved good food, drink and hospitality and our group will experience the very best in Virginia cuisine and overnight lodging in historic settings as we journey in time. Jefferson grew all kinds of fruit and vegetables, including apples – and we’ll get a tour and tasting at one of Virginia’s leading cideries to see how delicious hard cider is made. Our group will overnight at Richmond’s historic Hotel Jefferson (where else?) and in Lynchburg at the Craddock Terry Hotel.
