Posted on by Avon Children's Room


I am one of the founding Fathers of the United States and am known as the main author of the Declaration of Independence.  

I founded the University of Virginia and my head is carved into Mount Rushmore.   

I had pet mockingbirds and love vanilla ice cream.  

I died on the same day as John Adams.
