THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
The Historic Bishop Home will inaugurate the Nation’s 250th Anniversary celebration with its Sixth Throwback Event on Saturday, June 13, 2026, featuring a rare opportunity to experience Thomas Jefferson brought to life by nationally acclaimed historical interpreter Tom Pitz. As the primary draughtsman of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson remains one of America’s most influential thinkers. During the evening program, Mr. Jefferson will reflect on the creation of the Declaration and the pivotal events that shaped its adoption.
For nearly four decades, Tom Pitz has portrayed Jefferson for audiences across the country, earning recognition for his deep historical knowledge and compelling performances. His appearances include the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the College of William and Mary, the United States Treasury, the National Geographic Society, the Smithsonian, and Mount Rushmore.
