Jefferson's Legacy Lecture Series
What do we think of as Jefferson's Legacy? Would he agree with us? This newest offering from the scholars at Monticello poses some questions, gives some answers, and encourages plenty of discussion.
Sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings in September and October 2008, between 7-9pm, at the Jefferson Library. The series will conclude with a private, behind-the-scenes tour of Monticello entitled "Jefferson and Architecture" followed by a reception.
Detailed information can be obtained by calling (434) 984-7504 or e-mailing mscottfleming@monticello.org. Registration will begin in August.
Cost: $110 per person
