I still celebrate TJ's Birthday!
What better day to start a blog reviewing Charlottesville, than on Thomas Jefferson's Birthday!
Born 277 years ago on April 13, 1943 in Albemarle County, Virginia at his family home in
Shadwell, Jefferson was the third born of ten children. He wrote the Declaration of
Independence, and became the Third President of the United States. In his old age, he founded the
University of Virginia located in Charlottesville in 1819. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ!
