Day 5
Thursday September TBD, 2011
Today you will visit Thomas Jefferson
designed “Academical Village” at the University of Virginia,
the
architectural and academic heart of his community of scholars. The Rotunda
at the University of Virginia is the focal point of the academic village
modeled after the Pantheon in Rome. The buildings and landscapes are still
being used much as Jefferson intended. A guided walking tour of the Rotunda
and the Lawn will be presented for you by K. Edward Lay, the Cary D.
Langhorne Professor Emeritus of Architecture at the University of Virginia.
Next a visit to the University of Virginia’s Albert H. Small Declaration of
Independence Collection. At age 33, Thomas Jefferson, already an
accomplished writer, drafted this seminal document of American history.
Morning presentations close with a
chance to peruse some rare books and special manuscripts that Clay has hand
selected from the University of Virginia’s Special Collections.
The afternoon is all yours offering several options: Continue to explore the
University, visit Charlottesville with a walking tour and shopping, return
to Monticello or just relax at your hotel. After dining tonight enjoy a special presentation
by Clay Jenkinson:
”Jefferson and Friendship"
LODGING: The Omni-Charlottesville, Charlottesville,
Virginia Meals BD
Day 6 Friday September TBD, 2011
A big day of driving will
take you to two of Thomas Jefferson’s favorite retreats: Poplar
Forest and
the Natural Bridge. En route enjoy the rolling hills and scenic autumn
foliage of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. If time permits you’ll be able
to take advantage of refreshing mountain air and scenery with a small hike
among the trails. Then it’s back to Charlottesville for an entertaining evening (salon style) as you dine on fine food. Clay Jenkinson
will determine a great topic of question, designed for intrigue and great round
table discussions. Guaranteed to be a fun-filled evening after a full day of
exploring..

Day 7 Saturday September TBD, 2011
Your last day, but some
of the best is yet to come. Your final leg winds you back to
Washington DC, but a few stops still remain: Montpelier, home to Thomas
Jefferson’s special friends President James and Dolley Madison and
last but not least, a lasting memory to be had at Jefferson's Memorial. Your
quick week comes to a close with a chance to say goodbye to new friends, and
our chance to offer special thanks to you with our traditional Farewell
Dinner Party.
