SUMMARY:Founding Friends\, Founding Foes Tour
DESCRIPTION:On July 4\, 1826\, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. \nIn preparation for the 250th anniversary in 2026\, Monticello’s new Founding Friends\, Founding Foes Tour explores their complicated relationship. Visitors will learn how Jefferson and Adams became allies in 1776\, bitter rivals in an age of partisanship\, and friends again in retirement. \nBy considering the challenges and triumphs of the American Revolution and the early United States\, this tour reveals how ordinary people became leaders and encourages visitors to consider how a democracy was born through disagreement\, civil discourse\, and dedication to shared values. \nFollowing the tour\, guests will participate in a Feast of Reason on the mountaintop. Named for dinners that Jefferson hosted and known for their good food and interesting conversation\, the Feast of Reason is a new card deck that facilitates conversations on history and democracy over food and drink.

SUMMARY:The Long Road to Juneteenth Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As the oldest nationally recognized holiday commemorating emancipation\, Juneteenth reflects America’s long and often difficult pursuit of its founding ideals—life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet how well do we as Americans understand the Civil War roots and historical origins of this day? \nJoin us on Wednesday\, June 18 at 3:00 p.m. ET for a conversation with Robert K.D. Colby about his award-winning book\, An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South. Colby reveals how and why the domestic slave trade endured through the Civil War—and how its eventual collapse paved the way for emancipatory celebrations like Juneteenth. JMC’s own resident historian and manager of network engagement\, Elliott Drago\, will moderate. \nWe’ll ask: who were some of these slave traders\, and how did the slave trade function during the war? What effects did the slave trade have on major Southern cities? How did Black Americans resist the slave trade during the war\, and how did their efforts impact the overall Confederate war effort? Which primary sources help us contextualize the end of the slave trade and the fraught realities Black Americans faced after the war? Professor Colby’s insights shed light on the turbulent realities of the slave trade\, deepening our understanding of Juneteenth’s significance and enduring power as a national holiday. \nRegister now for this upcoming webinar!

SUMMARY:Pursuits of Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Civic Season at Monticello\, join us for a conversation with bestselling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H.W. Brands on his book\, Founding Partisans: Hamilton\, Madison\, Jefferson\, Adams and the Brawling Birth of American Politics\, a revelatory history on the shocking emergence of vicious political division at the birth of the United States. \nTo the framers of the Constitution\, political parties were a fatal threat to republican virtues. They had suffered the consequences of partisan politics in Britain before the American Revolution\, and they wanted nothing similar for America. Yet parties emerged even before the Constitution was ratified\, and they took firmer root in the following decade. In Founding Partisans\, Brands crafts a fresh and lively narrative of the early years of the republic as the Founding Fathers fought one another with competing visions of what our nation would be.
