Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. Mr. Jefferson's interests were vast and varied, including tinkering with existing tools to improve them. In addition to the seven-day clock in the Entrance Hall, that had a face in the hall and on the portico wall, and the tall-case clock in his private suite, he designed a spherical sundial, based on some he saw while in Europe as Ambassador to France. This one was recreated in 2001, based on written notes of Jefferson and known designs of the era found in France.
