My Country Tis of Thee - Poplar Forest

Life Magazine recently put out a edition entitled "Hidden America - Finding Stunning Beauty and Strange Stories In Secret Places from Coast to Coast". Some of it was quite interesting and I thought I would share some of the highlights.

Poplar Forest

Most people know of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello Plantation (check the back of a nickle). What most people do not know is that he had a 4800 acre plantation about 90 miles away from Monticello where he built a retreat home called Poplar Forest which you can visit today . . .
