Colonial Reversion

(note: This post is from last Thursday.)

Today we went to historic Yorktown and Williamsburg. Yorktown had a Revolutionary reproduction army camp and a colonial farm. It was alright but not that incredibly interesting. However, Williamsburg was awesome! It is a restoration of the entire colonial town of Williamsburg. It was complete with actors in full costume roaming the streets to bid you a "good morn". There are also several shops within the town. The craftsmen (and craftswomen) that work there all make their wares with tools and techniques that they would use in days gone by. No modern machines, ect. are used. One that was particularly cool was the gunsmith who makes them all by hand! The silversmith and the wig-maker were also rather interesting. So... tomorrow we're going to a 3rd historic town, Jamestown. I'll let you all know how that goes.
