About this listen
At just 25 years old, William Tremaine Thorp had already accomplished what most people never do in a lifetime.
Born into a large Hepburnia and Grampian-area family, William found his way to Mount Vernon, where he held a position of real responsibility and trust—work that required intelligence, discipline, and a deep respect for history.
In this episode, we talk about William’s remarkable path from rural Pennsylvania to one of the most historically significant sites in the country, the important work he was doing there, and the tragic accident on the Potomac River that ended his life far too soon.
It’s a story of promise, purpose, and loss—and a reminder that even short lives can leave a lasting imprint on the places and people they touch.
