Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest in Bedford County, Virginia P(John Henley, Richmond, VA); Thomas Jefferson considered Poplar Forest--the private retreat he created for his retirement--"the most valuable of my possessions." Home to the octagonal villa that represents his most personal and perfect work of architecture, Poplar Forest opened to the public in 1986, while still in a pre-restoration state. Now, a capital campaign is underway to aid the historic property's transition from its founding era, focused on restoration and preservation, to its next era of growth.; For information: www.poplarforest.org (PRNewsFoto/Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest)
