Monticello Century Address Reflects on Shared Greatness
Dr. Millington Carpenter examines Monticello’s hundred year history from early settlement through rail expansion, Civil War impact, growth of schools and churches, and the rise of public institutions. He argues progress came from collective citizen effort rather than single leaders, and notes later 19th and early 20th century strides before modern downturns.
