Williamsburg, Virginia Vacation

Williamsburg was the political and cultural center of Britain’s largest colony in the New World from 1699 to 1780. I was very honored to learn about the Historic Area of Virginia where they have the American Revolution 220 years ago.
"Colonial Williamsburg is the nation’s largest living history museum encompassing 301 acres including some 500 buildings, homes, stores and taverns reconstructed and restored to their 18th-century appearances; tradesmen practicing 30 historic trades and domestic crafts; historical interpreters and character actors; and 90 acres of gardens and greens".
We went to visit the Following highlights of Colonial Williamsburgs;

Governor's Palace: The residence of seven royal governor and the first two elected governors of the new sovereign state of Virginia, the palace is shown today as the home of Lord Dunmore, the last British governor of the colony on the eve of the Revolution.

Capitol: In Spring of 1776, Virginia patriots voted for independence and a new state constitution. From the Capitol over the next five years, the government conducted the war and introduced the legislation that created the state's republican government.

The Museums of Colonial Williamsburg: The Dewitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum features World class English and American silver, ceramics, painting, prints, and textiles dating from 1600 to 1830. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum is the first museum dedicated solely to American folk art.

Courthouse: County and city courts provided local justice both incivil and criminal cases. Participate in a wide variety of court trials in which lives liberties, and property come into contest.

Randolph House and Kitchen: Home of the one of Virginia's leading politicians, this was the site of important social and political gatherings. The backyard shows the range of work undertaken by enslaved men and women and their interaction with the white household.

The rest of the highlights was ; Blacksmith; Printing Office and Bindery; Magazine. They also have Colonial Evening Programs.

This was my First visit to Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area. I can tell that this place is a series of dramatic scenes about the lives of Virginians before and during the American Revolution played out the streets.
