After leaving the presidency and retiring from public service in 1809, Thomas Jefferson visited Poplar Forest three or four times a year to oversee the crop plantings and harvests. Join Jefferson himself, as portrayed by actor Bill Barker (appearing courtesy of Monticello) in his Poplar Forest villa to dine on a multicourse repast with wine pairings in anticipation of a successful season. Must be 21 and over. Tickets for the Spring Harvest Dinner are $200 per person or $350 per couple. Reservations are required and tickets must be purchased by March 15, due to catering considerations.
