I completed scanning and TMS Re-Entrying two more boxes that contained approximately fifty to seventy-five coins a piece. Needless to say, the Museum has a lot of these coins.

The Capitol building was the home of the House of Burgesses, the Governor’s Council and the General Court.

    The marble statue of George Washington by Horatio Greenough is very Neoclassical. Commissioned in 1832 by the U.S. Congress to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Washington’s birthday and completed in 1940, he sits reminiscent of The Statue of Zeus at Olympia in a toga and sandals with a sword. The sword, seen in his left hand, symbolizes leading the country to victory in the American Revolution and subsequently relinquishing power to the people. Washington’s figure sits solidly with precise lines and angles. The intention was for him to appear as dignified and powerful as the god Zeus, though some found his exposed chest to be inappropriate.…

    I chose the movie, Jefferson in Paris, for my research paper because I've always had a fascination with one of the premier intellects amongst our founding fathers: Thomas Jefferson. This fondness, as I've recently enrolled in a community college, had for a time been dashed into infinitesimal pieces. I still remember a conversation that I had with one of my professors on my first day of college. I, rather innocently, proclaimed to my teacher that I thought that Jefferson was a genius and deserved universal appraise, not only for his great intellectual dexterity and curiosity but was rather worthy of praise for his moral aptitude as well. My teacher, eyes turned fiery red, glared through my rather beguiled psyche and said outright that, "Jefferson…
