Original Sites: St. John's Church, site of Henry's "give me liberty or give me death" oration; Red Hill, Henry's last home and burial place; Hanover Courthouse, where Henry launched his public career; Polegreen Church, Henry's boyhood church; Pine Slash, a 300-acre tobacco farm dowried to Henry; Hanover Tavern, where Henry lived and studied law; Studley, Henry's birthplace; Hampden-Sydney College, a college he helped found; Scotchtown, one of Henry's homes; and Rural Plains, where Henry married Sarah Shelton in 1754.

New Sites: Mount Vernon, Gunston Hall, James Monroe’s Birthplace, Stratford Hall, Montpelier, Monticello, Ash Lawn-Highland, John Marshall House, Wilton, Colonial Williamsburg, and Yorktown.

We'll see you along the Road to Revolution!
