This exhibition
focuses on the extraordinary legacy of Thomas Jefferson--founding
father, farmer, architect, inventor, slaveholder, book collector,
scholar, diplomat, and the third president of the United States.
It traces Jefferson's intellectual development from his earliest
days in the Piedmont to an ever-expanding realm of influence in
republican Virginia, the American Revolutionary government, the
creation of the American nation, and the revolution in individual
rights in America and the world.
