Colonial Williamsburg 1

Today Evie and I visited Colonial Williamsburg. This is an awesome place to visit for a long day or over two days. Following are some pictures of the Governor’s Palace. In the entrance and hallway are hung swords and muskets of various types. Each musket was kept oiled and ready for use. Besides the size of the home, the swords and muskets are what greeted visitors…an early version of shock and awe.

To the left of the mansion is the servants’ quarters and to the right, support offices and quarters above.

Throughout the town are characters dressed for the period and artisans making crafts in the same way they did in the 1750s to 1770s.

More pictures to be posted in the following days.
