Please join the AIA Virginia Historic Resources Committee (HRC) in Lynchburg, VA for a historic tour of Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest. Experience the fulfillment of Jefferson’s vision for a place of retreat! The completed home shows how he enjoyed his retirement, but it also shows how the Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest has patiently and meticulously pursued its restoration over 40 years. This was done through the use of traditional trades, authentic materials, and following the road map of evidence, precedent, and archaeological findings. The tour will walk through the house and the chronology of how both Jefferson and the Corporation constructed/reconstructed the home.

Lunch will be provided.
Registration deadline is Friday, October 18 at 12:00 p.m.
