Bright, crisp days and long evenings by the fire: wintertime at Monticello was a quiet and beautiful season. But it was also difficult in many ways, requiring extra work, more arduous travel, and restricted diets. Join us for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker. We'll discuss what winter was like for people, enslaved and free, living at Monticello.
