At this remarkable time in our nation-s history, we invite you to join us on Wednesday, April 15, 2009, to celebrate both the enduring influence of Thomas Jefferson-s ideals and a landmark event in the history of Monticello, the Grand Opening of the Thomas Jefferson Visitor and Smith Education Center. 

At 11 a.m., Jefferson-s lasting legacies will be the theme of an event on the West Lawn of Monticello that will feature remarks by 2008 National Book Award winner Annette Gordon-Reed, presidential historian Michael Beschloss, other notable speakers, and live music performances.At 1 p.m., the new Visitor Center and its exciting interpretive features - four innovative exhibitions, a powerful introductory film, and a hands-on activity space for children - will be opened to the public. 

Additional details about the April 15 events will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please visit www.monticello.org/featured/new_vc.html ( http://monticello.pmailus.com/pmailweb/ct?d=HETmzQAOAAEAAAdSAAKGhw ) for information about the 21st-century gateway to Monticello.
