New Programs coming in 2023 

The Founding Fathers’ Series is focused on the three Presidents pivotal to establishing the Nation’s Capital in the South, along the banks of the Potomac:  Madison, Jefferson, and Washington.
 
The Series examines the education, philosophical influences, personal experiences, and the economic influences on these three Founding Fathers. The Series hosts 4-5 audio podcasts per President highlighting their education, their wives, their early careers, and their economic influences. With each President, the 6th and final episode is at their home (Montpelier, Monticello, and Mount Vernon.)
