We walked from the Visitor's Center this morning. It's another beautiful day, though chilly in the early morning. But, there's nothing better than being in the Village before the crowds arrive!
Our first stop today was the Capitol.
We had a wonderful tour and explanation of how the
government was working at the time.
We then stopped by the Secretary's Office to learn about the reconstruction of the marquee that served as George Washington's headquarters during the Revolution.
There was a wonderful display describing the project in the adjoining room. It is a joint project between Colonial Williamsburg and The American Revolution Museum.
Off to the Mary Stith House for another Meet a Nation Builder program.
Meet Edith Cumbo, one of the few free Blacks in
Williamsburg during the Revolutionary War. Interesting.
Then to lunch at Shield's Tavern. Yum!
The Plantation's Bull...he's a big boy!
The Plantation Kitchen
We visited a few of the shops in the Village and at Merchant's Square and then wandered down for the Review of the Troops. Today General Washington was there to address the citizens of Williamsburg in preparation for the seign of Yorktown. Then home for dinner, some quiet time, packing for LeeAnne and off to bed. Another Great Day!!
