Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest is his personal retreat home built near Lynchburg, Virginia, between 1806 and 1826.Hagley Historian Lucas R. Clawson will lead a discussion with Travis McDonald, formerly Architectural Historian at Poplar Forest, and Bill Barker, who has portrayed and interpreted Thomas Jefferson since the 1990s. They will talk about topics such the friendship between the du Pont family and Jefferson, their homes and how they used them, restoration and maintenance of historic landscapes, and the intellectual worlds in which Jefferson and the du Ponts lived.
