Join me, Robin on the Road, as I take you on the house tour at Monticello. This is part of my Monticello deep dive video. We begin at the Hall, the same place as Jefferson's guests; and move around to the family sitting room. Here you will learn about Jefferson's contribution to the Library of Congress. Next we will tour his Sanctum Sanctorum which includes his library, cabinet and the bed where he passed. We then move into the Parlor and we will finish with his Chrome Yellow dining room.

Join me Robin on the Road as I take you on a walk at Fort Christanna. Located in Brunswick County, VA outside the town of Lawrenceville. Fort Christanna in a Historic site and part of the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail (B4). Fort Christanna was built in 1713 by then Royal Govenor Alexander Spottswood to protect what was left of the Siouan Indian Tribe. He builds a school at the Fort in order to teach the Anglican Religion and English to the 15 native tribes who live around the fort. Believing this will help with relations and trade, the fort does protect the Saponi people from the colonist and the Iroquois. Fort Christanna will close in 1722. This was the edge of the colonial wilderness. In 1924 the Dames of Colonial Virginia acquire the land a place monument honoring the fort and the Native Americans who lived and traded at the fort. The Learning Circle is a gift to the fort and its design represents the Saponi Indian Village. Teachers, students and the public are invited to talk about the people who lived here.
