Chris Bennett Travels in History: Thomas Jefferson's Back Porch Chris Bennett: Some of my favorite Jefferson quotes are:
With photo, Monticello By Chris Bennett On July 4th I took my 14 year old nephew on a 5 state, 2000 mile tour of some of the most important historical places in the eastern United States. We hit attractions like every major Civil War battlefield, and the most important Revolutionary War battlefield, Yorktown. We went to the Jamestown settlement near Williamsburg, Virginia, and one of our favorites, Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson a very unique individual, but bad with money Thomas Jefferson was a very unique individual, but he was very bad with money. Although his debts were "in collections" His creditors actually let him live in his home until his death on July 4th, 1826, because of his immortal status as the author of the Declaration of Independence, and service as President. After his death they seized the estate and sold it. A Jewish family eventually purchased Monticello and tried to preserve it as best they could. They were great admirers of Jefferson, in part because of his views on religious freedom. Later, Monticello was bought by a private organization dedicated to restoring and preserving the historical home. This story was posted on 2008-09-12 09:27:50
