If you don’t like history, architecture, craftsmanship, etc., keep scrolling 😉
We had an amazing time on our fall break trip to Colonial Williamsburg. My camera roll is full of inspiration, and I couldn’t quit geeking out over all the details - just ask my family and our tour guide, who asked if I’m an architect because I was so into it 😆
For those who don’t know, CW is the world’s largest living history museum. It was built in the 1920s-30s by Rockefeller, and is a faithful recreation of colonial times. 89 of the 300+ buildings are original. In addition to actors portraying historic figures, there is an active trades/craftsmanship program with modern-day apprentices producing real items using 18th century methods.
It was a wonderful trip, and I will share our recommendations for lodging, food, and shops/activities in stories.
