The Feuding Founders Collective launches at WDS with a daylong symposium exploring the real Silas Deane, John Jay, and the Lee brothers of Virginia. Walk the historic houses, hear from scholars at three partner sites, and discover why these 250-year-old rivalries feel so familiar. This is the real story — not the tidy one.
