Actors play roles of President Thomas Jefferson and a delegation of contemporaries in reenactment of a meeting at Monticello, Virginia, in 1802
Image of Thomas Jefferson overlaid briefly atop a view of Monticello near Charlottesville, Virginia. The date 1802 appears as camera zooms in on the front of the building and then inside, where actors in 18th century costumes play roles of Jefferson and a delegation of three contemporaries, visiting to discuss some matter with the President. They stroll and converse, with President Jefferson dominating the conversation, for the most part. Afterwards, the three visitors take their leave. (Note: In 1802 Jefferson wrote a letter to a Baptist congregation in Danbury Connecticut that included the following: "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.” This matter might have been a subject of his discussion with the delegation at Monticello.)
