There are several ongoing interpretations related to founding fathers and
other lesser individuals of the same period at Colonial Williamsburg.  Here
are some suggested contacts:

  Bill Weldon (Portrays Patrick Henry and also supervises some of the
character interpreter training)
  Mary Wiseman (Portrays Martha Washington and was a founding participant
in developing character interetation at CW)
  Ball Barker (IMHO the finest portrayer of Thomas Jefferson in the world)
  Christy Matthews (Directs African American Interpretations and has
developed and portrayed numerous characters)

There are many others, but each of these individuals may be reached by
writing to them directly c/o Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, P.O. Box
1776, Williamsburg, VA  23187-1776.  The Foundation is currently involved
in a major reorganization, so the specific offices/buildings for these
individuals are not the ones I have listed in my files.

Good luck,
  Chris Geist
