From it's beginnings on a barren ridge over the Rivanna river, we will explore the everyday and controversial history of Charlottesville. As a native of Charlottesville, I have been steeped in Jefferson since childhood, so of course we will explore his contributions and influence. Come explore shady squares and open air living spaces, societal norms and shames in Mr. Jefferson's neighborhood. We will start where the town started, at Court Square, whose history marks the beginning of Charlottesville, all the way to its most current news. We will explore the slave years as well as the Civil War and what was to follow, both architecturally as well as socially. I look forward to seeing you in C-Ville!!
- We will visit the grounds of the original courthouse as well as surrounding significant sites before continuing to the Downtown Mall, our original Main St commercial district, revitalized at the nation's bi-centennial (about an hour to an hour and a half). - We will see the Courthouse, Court Square Park and Park St Park, and important sites on the Mall. - We will also visit the homes of several people formerly enslaved at Monticello and see how they moved on. - We will end at the newly christened Heather Heyer Way.
