| Poplar Forest |
Poplar Forest was an important part of Jefferson's life – a private retreat, situated far from the public scrutiny and demands on his time. It was his most personal architectural creation and landscape, a place where he came to find rest and leisure, to rekindle his creativity, and to enjoy private time with his family. Poplar Forest was also a working plantation, critical to his efforts as a farmer. The lives of the enslaved men and women who worked for Jefferson are an important part of its history.
Wonderful outside walking tour. The house tour is very educational. Lots of hands on for the children using architectural materials on the lower level, including a video and displays of excavational finds. |
