History come to life

Jack Jouett, the Paul Revere of the South, rode from Louisa County to Monticello to warn Thomas Jeffereson and other Virginia legislatures of incoming British troops. His ride was celebrated at Southern Revere Cellars on June 6 through an event hosted by VA250 and the Louisa County Historical Society.
