We at Monticello are deeply saddened by the passing of Dan Jordan, former President of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. Described by current president Jane Kamensky as “the most consequential president on the mountaintop since Jefferson himself,” Monticello rose to international prominence during his quarter-century of leadership, first as director and then president, from 1985 to 2008.
Recently, the Jefferson Library at Monticello received a gift from the Fontaine-Maury Society of a historic family bible belonging to James Maury (1746-1840), a childhood friend of Thomas Jefferson.
