jimofnyc Posted September 29, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thomas Jefferson found his main home of Monticello too busy to get any relaxation or contemplative time. There were often 50 or more guests in attendance - many of whom he did not know. So he designed and had built a small house in the middle of the Virginia woods called Poplar Forest. Just two bedrooms, a dining area and a back porch. There were outbuildings for enslaved servants who cooked and cleaned for him, but the octagon shaped building was his retreat. This is a recreation of his dining room. M10+35mm Summicron-M. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted September 30, 2023 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2023 Lovely. I'm sad I didn't know if this when we did a road trip last fall that included Monticello. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
