Thomas Jefferson's Monticello's photostream Pro User

Whitney and Aiden escort Travelin' TJ to Big Bone Lick State Park in Union, KY. Jefferson was keenly interested in the bones of the prehistoric animals that were uncovered here. He first asked Meriwether Lewis examine the bones found here and later sent William Clark to excavate the site. A few of the mastadon bones Clark uncovered are now on display at Monticello.
