More Description

This is the official docent's tour of Poplar Forest given by docent George Roland Wills in 2012. This tour had been enhanced at that time with even more information, when George retired and moved to Florida, as the information was no longer being strictly regulated to an actual 45 minutes of tour time. All docent tours are a piece of actual history, in and of themselves. Each one is important for its own contribution to the overall effort to educate the public on the facts of Mr. Jefferson's life.The 45 minute time allotments will have material that will change in and out of that particular docent's program, over the years, and so even if you always get the same docent when you take a tour of the home, you will not ever be getting the exact same tour.Also included at the end of this docent program is the short story, AN AFTERNOON WITH MR. JEFFERSON, by George Roland Wills. It is a fictitious time travel meeting between Thomas Jefferson and a young visitor to his modern day restored home.This story was first published in the anthology, THE NOVEMBER COUNTRY, available on Amazon.
