Gift of Mrs. Sarah Harrison (The Joseph Harrison, Jr. Collection)
as Thomas Jefferson hosts long-time friend Charles
Willson Peale. Jefferson and Peale shared an interest in
many topics. Both were patriots, archaeologists,
scientists, and inventors and were endlessly fascinated
with agricultural innovations, science and natural history.
A self-portrait by Peale depicts his
natural history museum.
“... I am induced to think
that even in the important
station to which our Nation
has called you... you may
still find leisure to devote
some attention to the
minutiae of public good, in
objects which promise the
economy, the convenience
and comforts of Life.”
Charles Willson Peale to
Thomas Jefferson
March 8, 1801
Jefferson and Peale will
delight audiences with two
performances this year.
Jefferson’s relentless curiosity
was closely matched by
Peale. Many of the specimens
Jefferson received from the
Lewis and Clark exhibition
were exhibited in Peale’s
natural history museum in
Philadelphia, considered the
first museum in America. In
1801, as Jefferson began his
first term as President, Peale
conducted the first scientific
exploration in the United
States, unearthing the bones
of a mastodon.
The two men shared an
interest too, in public
education, particularly
Jefferson’s University of
Virginia and Peale’s museum
of natural history and the
Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts. Peale is perhaps
best known as an artist,
having painted many of the
Founding Fathers. Nearly
1,000 paintings are credited
to Peale.
On May 2 Bill Barker of
the Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation will reprise his
role as Thomas Jefferson.
Charles Willson Peale will
be portrayed by actor and
historical interpreter Christian
Johnson.
New this year, guests will
have the opportunity to
attend either a matinee (2:15,
reception at 1:30) or evening
performance (8:00, reception
at 7:00). Advance ticket
purchase is recommended
by calling the Museum Shop
(434) 534-8120.

L i f e , L i b e rty
and the pursuit of
h a pp i n e s s
This special year, we celebrate the first chance to see
the fully restored exterior of Jefferson’s architectural
creation... and the enticing opportunity to step into
a new dimension of Jefferson’s ideas about his ideal
personal space— his landscape. It seems especially
fitting that we stand at this threshold this year, the
200th anniversary of Jefferson’s own threshold as he
stepped from the presidency into private life and began
his sojourns at his new retreat.
I hope everyone who has
contributed to Poplar Forest’s
preservation will journey
back this year to celebrate
the restoration milestone
achieved this spring.
“As Poplar Forest is reshaped
before our eyes back to
the way Jefferson wanted
it to be it calls up his
great ghost in ever more
palpable form…making the
restoration the most moving
event, for me, in recent
architectural history.”
Vincent J. Scully, Jr.
Stirling Professor Emeritus,
Yale University

Every one of Poplar Forest’s
supporters can be very proud
of what they have achieved—
a state-of-the-art restoration
that brings back into sharp
focus Jefferson’s vision for
the architecture of his retreat.
When Jefferson arrived in
1809 for his first stay in his
new house, only its outer
walls and roof were finished.
With the exterior restored this
spring, we can relate to his
experience as we now turn
to bringing alive his vision
for the interior. We aspire to
follow the same sequence of
work restoring the interior
as Jefferson did creating it,
starting with the paneled and
glazed doors.
Along with starting interior
restoration and continuing
to acquire the core land, our
next-step goals bring us the
opportunity to restore the
other dimension of his retreat
vision— his landscape. We
are poised to embark on
the first phase of landscape
restoration, once funding
is secured. The first project
will illuminate Jefferson’s
blending of manmade and
natural features— restoring
the symmetry of the allee
of trees balancing the brick
wing of offices.
This fall, for the first time,
visitors will feel the scale
of the 61-acre space that
Jefferson sculpted into his
retreat environment, as we
reconstruct its boundary
fence. “Opening” this
landscape for visitors to
experience sets the stage
for beginning to restore this
vibrant but unseen dimension
of Jefferson’s vision.

r e sto r ation and rescue
goal for first phase of
l a n d s c a p e r e s t o r at i o n
unveiled
Archaeology has pinpointed the focus for the new
frontier at Poplar Forest. This exciting new goal will
begin to illuminate Jefferson’s unique integration of
manmade and natural features in his vision for his
ideal getaway.
The just-announced plan for the first phase of landscape
restoration calls for beginning with one of the most important
features of Jefferson’s “architectural” composition— the
west allee of paper mulberry trees— to be followed by the
geometrically arranged “tree clumps” and oval beds in front
of the house.
“We are excited to announce
the blueprint for this longawaited opportunity to
restore Jefferson’s landscape.
We are ready now to seek the
funds to bring back the first
features of the ornamental
grounds at Poplar Forest.”
The Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest
Judith Greer Schulz
Originally, Jefferson had planted an allee of trees on both
sides of the house. He subsequently replaced the east allee
with the brick wing. The allee that stretched between the
house and the west mound is the most explicit illustration of
Jefferson’s intentionally blurring the line between landscape
and architecture— using trees to mimic wings. With the
“wing of offices” on the east side of the octagon now
reconstructed/restored, bringing back its counterpart­ the west
allee of trees— will restore the symmetry of Jefferson’s unique
rendition of the five-part Palladian villa. In restoring Jefferson’s
design, the trees and the wing will once again balance each
other in connecting the octagon to the flanking mounds.
This diagram shows how Jefferson’s design for Poplar Forest reinterprets the design
of a Palladian villa.

The Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest
Garden note on Poplar Forest 1811-1820, Special Collections, University of Virginia Library
Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest
Excavations in the early 1990’s (before house restoration
began) revealed the planting stains and holes for the northwest
tree clump and oval bed. Based on the data recovered from
these excavations, the archaeologists determined that the
clumps were 25 feet in diameter and the oval beds measure
5 feet wide by 20 feet long.
Jefferson’s planting memorandum for 1812 indicates that
he had the allee of paper mulberry trees and the tree
clumps planted in November of that year.
Research indicates that within the 61-acre
“curtilage” space that Jefferson carved from
his farm, he organized the features necessary
to a villa retreat: kitchen gardens, ornamental
plantings, orchards and support buildings. At
the heart of the curtilage was the octagonal
house within a 10-acre core of ornamental
plantings— reflecting Jefferson’s experimental
nature and a familiarity with landscape
design, developed from a lifetime of study
and travel. Also targeted in the first phase of
landscape restoration are the “tree clumps”
and oval flower beds at the front of the house
that were part of that ornamental “core” of
the curtilage.
of the central oval bed. As part of this project,
archaeologists will further research the origins
of the boxwoods in front of the house.
In letters, Jefferson remarked on the effective
use of “tree clumps”— or tight groupings of
trees— in English landscapes, and planted
them himself at Poplar Forest, Monticello,
and the White House. At Poplar Forest his
papers indicate the planting of two raised
oval planting beds – aligned with the walls at
the front “corners” of the house and a center
one facing the front door of the house. An
existing chestnut rose growing in the middle
of the boxwood maze may be a descendant
Part of the archaeological excavation needed
for these plantings at the front of the house
and for the allee has already been done.
The first phase of landscape restoration will
incorporate both the remaining archaeological
excavation needed to pinpoint details of
the targeted landscape features, and the
reproduction of Jefferson’s landscape via
planting of the documented trees and plants.
“Landscape restoration will reveal a new
dimension of Jefferson’s villa retreat and
clarify his vision for this personal space,”
said board chairman Judith Greer Schulz.
“Funding for the landscape restoration is a
major priority beginning in 2010. It presents
new opportunities for donors to make a
visible difference in restoration progress
at Poplar Forest.”

a n n i v e rsary
c e l e b r at e
200 years
a t p o pl a r f o r e s t
2009 marks the 200th year since Jefferson retired
from the Presidency. In November of 1809, Jefferson
began sojourning to his retreat home.
This spring, for the first time in 160 years, it will be possible to see the exterior
of the house as it looked on Jefferson’s last visit in 1823, when he was 80 years
old. By fall visitors will be able to experience the size and scope of Jefferson’s
landscape as we reconstruct the boundary fence for the 61-acre curtilage. Explore
your own “pursuit of happiness.” Make plans now to visit Poplar Forest during
this anniversary year.
New this Year
Experience the Curtilage
In May, the public will be invited to join with
staff and volunteers to kick off reconstruction
of Jefferson’s curtilage fence, a snake fence
surrounding the retreat’s 61-acre core.
Mid-summer visitors will see construction in
full swing. By fall it will be possible to see and
feel the size of the space Jefferson organized
as his villa retreat.
Handheld tours introduced
In addition to guided tours of Jefferson’s
house, beginning this fall visitors will be
able to walk through the pre-restoration
grounds with handheld audio/visual “tour
guides” and learn what we know so far from
Jefferson’s papers and archaeology about the
ornamental landscape, the plantation, and
the people of the enslaved community.

The Corporation for Jefferson’s Poplar Forest
The “Wing of Offices” unveiled
The exterior of the distinctive 100-foot east
wing of service rooms, which Jefferson called
the “Wing of Offices,” will be complete.
Visitors will be able to stroll on the wing’s
innovative flat roof, as Jefferson did.
The curtilage fence, believed to have been a Virginia rail
(or snake) fence, will give visitors an idea of the full size and
scope of Jefferson’s villa retreat design.
Jefferson’s Retirement Party
In October, toast Mr. Jefferson and
his retirement from a lifetime of public
service and enjoy a concert with the
Richmond Symphony.
The Thomas Jefferson Wine Festival
In November, kick off the holidays and
celebrate Jefferson’s passion for wine. The
first-annual event will feature local and
regional wineries, historic crafters and
vendors, and a visit from Thomas Jefferson.
