Mr. Jefferson Is Not at Home Today

As per Publick Occurrences 2.0, check out New York Times artist Maira Kalman’s visual record of a visit to Monticello.
Of course, what I’d really like to learn is the name of the handsome, part-Jefferson-designed house where Kalman stayed.

I am lucky to live in Albemarle County, home of Mr. Jefferson. I graduated from his University and still work at the University. His presence is very viable in this area as I am sure it is felt all over the globe.

Ms. Kalman did a wonderful job of relaying tidibts of a fascinating complexed individual to those that might not be as familiar with the man as we are in Charlottesville.
Thank you for including the Levy Family, they have been ignored for years.

Come visit Charlottesville. You will leave a changed person; hopefully for the better.
