Thomas Jefferson Living History Program

 Sunday, July 5th, 2026 :: 3:00pm - 4:00pm
 Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre

The Washington County Historical Commission is proud to partner with The Barnhill Center to present a special presentation of a Thomas Jefferson living-history presentation on Sunday, July 5th at 3pm at The Barnhill Center in Brenham.

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence with a remarkable living-history presentation featuring an actor portraying Thomas Jefferson. In this engaging and inspiring program, “Jefferson” will take audiences back to the summer of 1776 and describe, in his own words, how he drafted the Declaration of Independence — the ideas that shaped it, the debates that surrounded it, and the enduring principles of liberty that continue to define America today. Perfect for history lovers, students, and patriotic Americans of all ages, this special America 250 event offers a rare opportunity to experience the birth of the nation through the eyes of one of its Founding Fathers.
