in 1781: Thomas Jefferson escaped capture at Monticello by just minutes.

His narrow escape was made possible by Jack Jouett, a 26-year-old Virginian who rode nearly 40 miles overnight to warn Jefferson that British cavalry were on their way. Known today as the “Paul Revere of the South,” Jouett’s daring ride helped save Virginia’s government during one of the most turbulent moments of the Revolutionary War. After delivering his warning before sunrise on June 4, Jefferson was able to flee Monticello through the woods just moments before British troops arrived.

⬆️ To commemorate this moment in history for the nation’s 250th anniversary, this Pomeroy Historic Marker was dedicated by the Albemarle Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (ACNSDAR) near Joplin’s Ford, Virginia, honoring the historic Jefferson Escape Route
