Summary:
PARTLY II of our tour of Colonial Williamsburg, we step back in its history, once again, to get a closer go through the picturesque town and the fascinating residents who lived and worked here. Upon this tour, we keep the elegant mansions behind and check out with the retailers, the tradesmen, and artisans that created the everyday fabric of this historic community. We’re starting at one of the first churches in Virginia, Bruton Parish Church. Along the way we’ll start to see the first public mental institution established in the country, we’ll drop by among Virginia’s early arsenals and we’ll pass properties once possessed by Martha Washington’s relatives. Fittingly, we surface finish at the first building in the us to be known as The Capitol — the area that noticed the beginnings of American Independence.
