Doors open at 5:30 p.m.\, and the program will begin at 6 p.m. Juneteenth is the celebration of emancipation following the U.S. Civil War. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to learn from and take photos with historical reenactors Shiron and Oscar Ray—and Oscar will be portraying Bass Reeves!\nAward-winning author Art T. Burton will also give a presentation about the experiences of Black lawmen on the frontier.

News of emancipation spread north to the enslaved people in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) at different times during the summer of 1865. However\, emancipation was not immediate for all enslaved people—it was enforced later through the Reconstruction Treaties of 1866.

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.
