Here, the visitor can join Jefferson as he moves through a “typical’ day at his beloved Monticello. Help him record the weather. Fill the pens as you “drudge” with him at his writing table from ”sunrise to one or two o’clock” responding perhaps to the “persecution” of the 1,267 letters he received in 1820.
