I shudder at the approach of winter – Jefferson

Feb 1, 2023 | 0 comments

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. The Thomas Jefferson home in Monticello VA will be watching.

“… and wish I could sleep through it with the Dormouse, and only wake with him in spring, if ever.” — Thomas Jefferson, 1822
While Thomas Jefferson was not especially fond of winter, it can be an especially beautiful time of year to visit the mountaintop.

Check out a compilation of drone footage, videos, and photos of wintry days at Monticello, and watch livestreams that discuss winter both during Jefferson’s lifetime and how we deal with inclement weather today.
