League of Most Interesting Gentlemen, LLC

Founding Fathers and Enlightenment in the 21st Century


The League captures the essence of the vibrant "salons" and  engaging soirees from the Age of Enlightenment. The era was marked by a cosmopolitan sharing of ideas in social settings attended by noteworthy philosophers, artistes, and curious citizens. Dolley Madison furthered the trend in America and called her lively gatherings  "squeezes" ...and her husband James' thoughts and opinions were among the discourses. Here are scenes of a similar "salon" where Mr. Madison and his fellows entertain and engage the attendees with their wit and wisdom.

Mr. Madison is grateful to be associated with the League of Most Interesting Gentlemen the multi-talented Natural Philospher (Dean Howarth); President Thomas Jefferson (Tom Pitz); Dr. Benjamin Franklin (Barry Stevens); and the Honorable Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (Ron Duquette).Along with Mr. Madison, these Gentlemen provide a more personalized view of the early growth of the American Republic that is sometimes overlooked in textbooks or classrooms. For more information about the League, please contact the League via e-mail. Scheduling is coordinated by Mr. Ron Duquette, who portrays Albert Gallatin.

What Is Historic Interpretation

Historic interpretation ranges from the employees of historic site in period attire and interacting with visitors as a certain type of resident of the location during a given point in history, to the demonstrations seen at various battlefields with individuals portraying the combantants with appropriate attire and equipment, to the individuals such as Mr. Jenks and his colleagues who thoroughly research the life and times of a particular person in history to bring them to life in the present so that today's citizens may interact with them in a personal way. In all cases, the primary goal is to draw the audience back in time to a place and time important to a country or regions in order to learn in a way seldom possible in a conventional classroom.
