Thank you. My first trip after my husband left was to fulfill the fantasy of driving to Monticello. I wanted to see the clock with counterweights that went through the floor. I suddenly remembered the trip from that link! Thanks again.
I had seen parts of this before, on the NYT website. It was wonderful to see the whole thing. I think the artist helped to create a universe that said volumes about the man, the times, our country.
Great post. thank you for pointing us to this artist and her story. I have visited Monticello several times. It is beautiful. There is also a slave graveyard on the grounds that is very sad.
The smokehouses are also still there. The walk up to the house is unbelievably beautiful.
T^hat is one impressive article, specially to who didn't know him, like me. I had the opportunity of reading and signing the Declaration of Independence and I found it overwhelming. Jefferson must have been a genious. Thank you for sharing.
What a creative biography of one of our country's greatest men. I took my son's 4th grade class to Monticello on a school field trip, when I lived in Maryland. It's beautiful and very stately. Thanks for this informative post.
That was very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI've never been sold on the need for the American Revolution but Jefferson was definitely a very impressive man.
This was great! Thanks for posting the link.
