Greg Shenkman visits Williamsburg, VA
I, Greg Shenkman, recently paid a visit to the town of Williamsburg, Virginia. It was if I had stepped back in time more than 200 years. I went to Colonial Williamsburg, there was a whole lot to see and do. I enjoyed all those who worked there being in costume, playing there part as if we were really back in the 18th century. This great historic area stretches over 300 acres and has over 80 original 18th century structures, hundred of houses, shops and public outbuildings that have been reconstructed on their original foundations. A flag at the entrance of the building was an indication that we could go inside and take a tour. I enjoyed the museums, there are rare treasures in every corner. The re-enactments, the fifes and drums parading along, watching the historic tradesman at work using their tools and methods of the 18th century. I even took a ghost walk at night where there were candlelit rooms and tales being told of mystery and the unexplained. It was very enlightening to visit such a piece of our history. I suggest it to all.
