Adopted sons, signers of the Declaration, painters, sculptors, men of science, famous physicians, pariahs of the free press, purveyors of fine wine, and, of course, political provokers both friend and foe: all recognized by Thomas Jefferson as luminaries in our nation’s early “Constellation of Worthies.” They now rest peacefully at Laurel Hill East; but their stories refuse to conform to those tenets, boldly demanding to be told. This walking tour will be led by Bill Barker, Thomas Jefferson scholar and interpreter, who currently portrays Jefferson at Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia, after 27 years at Colonial Williamsburg.
