Holiday celebrations at Monticello were centered on family, food, and music. As a kickoff to the holiday season, we will look at the customs and the responsibilities involved in early-19th century festivities. Please join us for a live Q&A with Bill Barker, famous first-person interpreter of Thomas Jefferson and founding Innermost House Advisor as we discuss how families at Monticello, both enslaved and free, celebrated the holidays in the 18th century.
