The Viroqua UMC Book Group is joining the 3 episode series of the Declaration Book Club over the summer months.
Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, which created the United States. To celebrate the Declaration’s 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, Monticello has launched Declaration Book Club, featuring short readings, lively videos, and probing questions to spark discussion of our past, present, and future as one people, created equal. What did Jefferson and his cosigners declare in 1776—and how do we pursue life, liberty, and happiness today?
All are invited to join this study. Discussion meetings will be held at the church, (221 S Center Ave in Viroqua), at 7:00 pm.
Meeting 1: 1776 — held on June 8th.
Meeting 2: 1826 (the 50th anniversary of the Declaration) — held on July 13th.
Meeting 3: Legacies (legacy & influence throughout history) — held on August 10th.
