Description
Thomas Jefferson is often referred to as "the pen of the Revolution" for writing the Declaration of Independence. Of all his accomplishments, most Americans today associate Jefferson first and foremost as the author of our nation's founding document. However, at the time, Jefferson himself was displeased with the final draft of the Declaration that the Continental Congress approved and distanced himself from his own work. Historical interpreter Marc Holma will portray Mr. Jefferson and will discuss the authorship of the Declaration of Independence and how it came about.
