Regarded as one of this country's foremost political leaders and diplomats, Thomas Jefferson served his country for nearly five decades. As a member of the House of Burgesses and Continental Congress, governor of Virginia, ambassador to France, and third President of the United States, Jefferson was a powerful advocate of liberty and religious freedom.

Bobblehead dolls originated in ancient China. Over centuries their evolution has been influenced by different cultures and fashions of the day.
