Thomas Jefferson's Legacy
Nov 7, 2021 20:28:48 #
Visiting my daughter this week who is a Physician at UVA and thought I take a few photos of the centerpiece that truly represents UVA and Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia in 1819. He planned the curriculum, recruited the first faculty, and designed the Academical Village. Comprised of a central lawn and surrounded by faculty residences called pavilions, with student rooms between and working service yards behind, the "village" symbolizes Jefferson's intent to create an institution that supports the free and open exchange of ideas, close interaction among students and faculty, and collegial collaboration across disciplines. Together with Monticello, Jefferson's mountaintop house, the Academical Village is an architectural design of global significance; UNESCO declared the pair a World Heritage site in 1987 in recognition of their universal cultural value.
And a trip to this area of Virginia wouldn't be complete without a cruise down the Blue Ridge Parkway and as you can see, its getting close to the end of the peeper season but leaves were still beautiful. Best in download...Happy Veterans to all you veterans and patriots out there and thanks for your service.....Cheers
