Thomas Jefferson was a man of many talents and interests. This interdisciplinary workshop will introduce participants to the Society’s collection of Jefferson manuscripts, including his Farm and Garden Books, which detail the management of his plantations; his architectural drawings; and his notes on the Declaration of Independence. We will sample methods for using these original documents in history, English, math, and science classrooms.

This program is open to educators and history enthusiasts. Educators can earn 22.5 PDPs or one graduate credit (for an additional fee).

Workshop Fee: $25 per person (to cover materials and lunch)
