“Welcome to Patrick Henry’s Red Hill. My name is Patrick, but I’m not ‘that’ Patrick. My name is Patrick Henry Jolly!” That’s how Patrick often greets students during Living History Days at Red Hill.
Patrick has been doing events at Red Hill since 1999, when he was honored to play the Henry fiddle on the 200th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s death. Since then, he has had the pleasure of greeting thousands of visitors of all ages, sharing Patrick Henry’s life and the history of Red Hill.
As a descendant of Patrick and Sarah Henry, Patrick has been studying his ancestors’ lives for over 30 years, since he was first asked to give a presentation in his native Ohio.
Patrick is retired and, although he lives in Ohio, he is often in Virginia, sharing with visitors about Patrick Henry and life at Red Hill.
