In the Company of Patriots: Women’s Enduring Legacy in Colonial Virginia
with Thomas Jefferson, James Madison & Martha Washington
Wednesday, November 19 | 7-8:30 pm (doors open at 6:30) | Kimball Theatre in Colonial Williamsburg | $40 per person All seating is general admission
Join us for an illuminating evening as Martha Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women in Colonial Virginia. Through engaging dialogue, these iconic figures will explore how wives, mothers, and female community leaders shaped not only their personal lives, but also the political, social, and cultural foundations of a new nation. This program brings to life the powerful stories of women whose influence extended far beyond the hearth. From managing homes, businesses, and preserving family fortunes during war, to advising their husbands and sustaining civic ideals, these women forged a legacy of resilience and purpose. Audience members will gain a deeper appreciation for the enduring impact of women’s roles in the American founding - insights as relevant today as they were more than two-and-a-half centuries ago. Presented in collaboration with The Williamsburg Institute (TWI), proceeds from this fundraising event benefit TWI and the Osher Institute at W&M.
