Celebrate Thomas Jefferson’s 280th birthday by spending the day at his beloved retreat. Explore the octagonal villa and grounds. Try your hand at colonial era games such as ball and cup, quoits and rolling hoops, make a birthday card for the president, and enjoy a gourmet birthday cupcake from Kissed Cupcakes. You may even catch a glimpse of the guest of honor, Thomas Jefferson himself, as portrayed by Bill Barker, who will be on hand to greet well wishers and welcome them to his home. All birthday activities are included with regular admission rates.
