Jefferson as an Inventor
Thomas Jefferson’s inventive work covered practical everyday items. He built a three legged folding camp stool, a revolving chair, a light wagon, a copying press, a distance measurement instrument, and agricultural devices like a plow and hemp cultivator. He won a gold medal in France in 1700 but did not profit financially, believing inventions should be freely available.
