Between May 21 and June 6, 1791, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison took a trip together on horseback through upstate New York and parts of New England. This “northern journey” came at a moment of tension for the new nation, in whose founding these Virginians and political allies had played key roles. The Constitution was ratified, and President George Washington was in his first term of office. Whether the country could overcome regional and political differences and remain unified, however, was still very much in question. Hence, some observers at the time wondered whether this excursion into Federalist New England by the two most prominent Southern Democratic-Republicans, both future presidents, had an ulterior motive.
Award-winning historian Louis Masur, Distinguished Professor of American History and Studies at Rutgers University, will discuss this journey as detailed in his new book, A Journey North: Jefferson, Madison and the
Forging of a Friendship. Jefferson declared at the end of his life that his 50-year friendship with Madison had been a “source of constant happiness” to him.
Louis Masur gave this presentation on October 13, 2025 to members of The Woman's Club, at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture.
