Thomas Jefferson Comes to Life with Bill Barker

Experience history in a remarkable new way as acclaimed historical actor Bill Barker brings Thomas Jefferson to life in a first-person presentation at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.

Widely recognized as the nation's foremost interpreter of Jefferson, Barker combines decades of theatrical experience with rigorous historical scholarship to explore the life, ideas, and enduring legacy of one of America's most influential—and complex—Founding Fathers.

Barker will be joined by Milt Nieuwsma, author of Miracle on Chestnut Street, who will moderate the conversation and reflect on Jefferson's enduring significance in American history.

Join us for this unforgettable opportunity to encounter Thomas Jefferson as if you were meeting him in person and explore how his ideas continue to shape America today.
