For Thomas Jefferson, Philadelphia was—like many other Founding Fathers—an important city. It is where he penned the Declaration of Independence, and where he and his counterparts pushed forward a revolution that would change the world. Yet, his time in the city that was arguably the financial and cultural center of the British North American colonies began far earlier.
Join us Tuesday, June 20, at 1:00 pm ET for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by Bill Barker. He will reflect on his travels to and experiences in Revolutionary Philadelphia.

I always enjoy these very interesting and informative talks. I've been to Philadelphia and stayed at the B & B across from the City Tavern where we ate one evening. Old Philly is an amazing place to visit; it's full of history and authenic buildings. We want to go back there sometime.
I love the independence hall, I would love to visit Philadelphia someday. Thank you Mr. Jefferson for your lovely and interesting conversation with us! I always enjoy listening to your talks, I’m very blessed to be here hearing you talking! 😊❤️
I wrote my masters thesis on the British occupation of Philadelphia so learned a lot about Meschianza.
Hello from Oregon. My home town was Philafelphia😊
I'm from Philadelphia. Born and raised there and lived there until more recent retirement when we moved to the mountains. I worked for the govt. on Independence Mall and often at my lunch on Independence Mall. I adore history so much it's what I have my degree in. I would often just walk and look around and imagine what it was like then and those who walked there.
Will you be in Williamsburg over the 4th for Independence Day? When will you be in Monticello?
I'm planning a visit to both over that week. When I visited Philadelphia I searched out the addresses where you stayed. What a delightful city!
Hello and I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better, President Jefferson!!!!!
