Jefferson's Poplar Forest
|
Special Event Station at Poplar Forest
by Dick, W4HMK Operating The Station
Poplar Forest, located in Bedford County Virginia, was Thomas Jefferson's retreat during his presidency. It is a beautiful National Historic Landmark. It is the innovative architectue that Jefferson designed during his second term as President. Jefferson visited Poplar Forest for rest and relaxation. It gave him a chance to spend time with his family and escape the crowds at Monticello. This historic facility is located near my current home and where I volunteer as a tour guide. I enjoy the beauty of the location and explaining the historic significance of things to the public.
