Happy Birthday Mr. Jefferson

Posted by pamdent on April 3rd, 2008

As you may know Charlottesville, Virginia is all about all things Jefferson - Thomas Jefferson that is. Jefferson was born 265 years ago just east of Charlottesville at Shadwell. His lovely home Monticello looks down on the city of Charlottesville. You can’t drive down Main Street without seeing the Rotunda, one of the origional buildings of the University of Virginia, locally known as Mr. Jefferson’s University after its’ founder Thomas Jefferson. So what would be a more fitting event to celebrate in Charlottesville than Thomas Jefferson’s birthday? The ceremony will be held on Sunday April 13 at 11:00 at Thomas Jefferson’s grave in the graveyard at Monticello. This is a free, public event and the Honorable Robert Grey former president of the American Bar Association will deliver this year’s address. This is an especially beautiful time of year to enjoy the grounds of Monticello and remember one of the founders of our country.
