Pen to Paper: The Civic Gospel of the Declaration of Independence

An event to celebrate 250 years of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. Join us for an afternoon of conversation, music, poetry, and theater, honoring our most shared piece of history.

Featuring voices from across American public life, Pen to Paper reflects on the Declaration's enduring words and looks forward to a spirit of civic renewal as the nation embraces its 250th anniversary. This program also launches DECLARE: A Civic Gospel, a new collaboration between Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and the Arion Press of San Francisco.

Later in the afternoon, join us for Jefferson and Adams: A Stage Play by Howard Ginsberg. Experience the passion and ideals that inspired a revolution and the birth of a new nation. To be performed on Monticello's iconic West Lawn (Outdoor-Tented), you can experience the passion and ideals that inspired a revolution and the birth of a new nation through the eyes of Thomas Jefferson and his good friend, fellow revolutionary and political rival, John Adams.
