Hello! I noticed you used a lot of our Williamsburg footage from various documentaries we produce for our Quest Capsule YouTube channel in this video, e.g. our Duke of Gloucester Street Walking Tour, clips from our George Wythe House documentary, our aerial shots of the Governors Palace, and other Colonial Williamsburg documentaries we produce on our channel about Colonial Williamsburg. Get it touch next time, we could have arranged some more special raw footage for you to include in the piece as well! 🎩Nice work!

Dude I had to do a project on Williamsburg and this helped so much! 🙏🙏

Jamestown is not Williamsburg. Yorktown is not Williamsburg. And please learn how to pronounce many of these before stealing other people's footage and putting a video out on it.

Curious—did you ask to use footage from my company ghost tours? Not only did you use it, you mentioned another tour while showing MY footage!! Who told you it was okay to use footage that doesn’t belong to you?

I like how clean and maintain it is perfect our area is A German community. But wood building and Bricks but if needed paint not well maintained.

gla chester street? It's pronounced Gloster

Gloucester is glah-ster. Wythe is with. Powhatan is powa-tan. Kecoughtan is kicka-tan. It helps if you come here that you can pronounce these names properly.

I’ve been a couple of times and really enjoy the area…sadly they removed most of the cannon from Yorktown…very disappointing
