Monticello to Main Street Walking Tour

Enslaved men, women, and children not only built Monticello; they and their descendants also helped build the city of Charlottesville.
Join us on Tuesday, August 11, at 1:00 p.m. EDT for the digital premiere of our Monticello to Main Street Tour. Based largely on the research of Monticello historian Cinder Stanton, this tour shares the stories of free and enslaved African Americans with ties to Monticello who left a lasting impact on Charlottesville history. With courage and perseverance, these individuals navigated the color line and triumphed in creating community despite the harsh realities of racism all around them.

Great subject matter. Found you just as I finished Jefferson's Daughters by Catherine Kerrison, so the fate of so many people, and especially Hemings family women was very educational and well documented. One thing. I wish you had made clear for non scholars of this family is that Sally and Mary are believed to be sisters.
