Once boasting, “Whether I retire to bed early or late, I rise with the sun,” Thomas Jefferson kept a regimented schedule throughout his life. His usual day included friends, family, and dedicated time to reading and writing. Join us on Thursday, June 30, at 1:00 p.m. ET for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker. We will discuss Jefferson’s daily routines, how they changed over time, and how the work of enslaved people made Jefferson’s lifestyle possible.
