Many historic buildings, people, craftsmen, and some time for nature too.
The silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg
A couple of law breakers suffering their punishment
We were lucky enough to see General Washington at Williamsburg
A regiment was drilling while we were there as well
These buildings are at Jamestown, reproductions of buildings dating from the 17th century
This home dates from the time of the American Revolution when Williamsburg was the capitol of Virginia.
A kitchen from the late 18th century on an early plantation. In Virginia, kitchens were commonly a seperate building from living quarters.
A representation of a Powhatan village at Jamestown. I always thought Powhatan was Pocahontas' dad....he was. The title Powhatan was the big chief, but it was also the name of the people he ruled.
Ships moored at Jamestown' on the James River some 50 miles inland from Chesapeake Bay
The chamber were the House of Burgesses met in Williamsburg. It was here that Richard Henry Lee introduced the resolution for independency that was unanimously adopted.
Our trip was mostly about history, but you know us....we have to get our nature fix as well.
Look closely at the base of the grass plants. There are a gillion mussels there. We canoed in the York River estuary at low tide.
These fiddler crabs are about two inches long. They were everywhere at low tide.
The York River estuary inland from Chesapeake Bay.
