2010 Programs

Winter Lecture Series: A Cradle for Democracy

The Wintergreen Nature Foundation and the Historical Society of Nelson County partner for our 2010 Winter Lecture Series. Previous programs brought the young nation through the “times that tried the souls of men” and the Revolutionary period. This year's programs explore events in our fledgling country and our county during the tumultuous years of Jefferson's presidency. Little known facets of history will be uncovered, enacted by individuals who are, in some cases, direct descendants of the founding families of Nelson County. Join us as we recreate the lives and times of our forefathers and explore the characters and events that shaped our state and county. February 13 and March 20, 2010.
