  • Just amazing to see a blacksmith working alone in a shop with a mask on. Glad those days are behind us.
  • going back with my best friend December 8th and 9th! Colonial Williamsburg is my favorite place ever, it's a dream of mine to work as an interpreter there at some point too
  • The governors Palace is my favorite building, especially the gardens. The last time we were there, several years ago, we went to a recreated witch trial and we were on the jury. Super cool and fun!

    I’ve picked this as my next trip. I’ve been before but as a kid. Cannot wait to go back now for a few days and explore. Not going til September but can’t wait!

    What an incredible eye you have for beautiful cinematic effect!! Are you a professional photographer or is the vlogging experience that has honed your skills? You are def a cut above the rest, Michael!! And your spoken content is also exceptional. My compliments!! I find one of the reasons one must stay for at least 3 nights in CW is that different trades and taverns are open on different days. Many are closed on some days and it can be disappointing if your heart is set on going to Basset Hall or the Cabinetmakers and it is closed for that day. Thank you so much for a wonderfully informative and fun tour. *I believe a young Tom Jefferson studied Law and was mentored under George Wythe.
  • Great video i love colonial williamsburg...New sub/fan here 😊

    The shopping area is Merchants Square NOT Market Square. Market Square is 1/2 way down Duke of Gloucester Street—the area where the Magazine and Courthouse (not Capitol) are. That’s where markets and public auctions were held in the 18th century. Merchants Square is on the west end by the College, where 21st Century tourists shop, today.

    You forgot to mention the Griffin Hotel that is on property as well. There are two buildings....the Green wing and the Gold wing. It's a great place to stay and within walking distance to the center of town. Some rooms actually have wood burning fireplaces as well.

    I went in the 90's and saw tall ships at the marina. We'll never be able to count the cost of the pandemic shut down
  • @suewilson163
    Since I will probably never get there wish they had a catalog to sell their products , clothes, baskets, barn lanterns, ect.

    This video is awesome! I’m dying to go to Colonial Williamsburg! Any ideas on how much a reproduction dress at Tarpley’s costs? I haven’t been able to find out anywhere. I appreciate your help 💗
  • I would recommend staying at Colonies at Williamsburg, Vacation Village. It is a lovely property. We stayed there in 2019. A warning though! Please do not get snagged by the Concierge. She or he will offer you tickets to Old Williamsburg for just 90 minutes of your time. We fell for it. We were lied to by our sales agent Jackie, convinced to buy and now we our out $45K, all of our savings. My husband is a 100% service connected Vietnam Vet. I have been contacting the CEO's of VV for months with no response. Enjoy the property but go through Airbnb or some other rental and DO NOT BUY!!
