Day 5 – A day in the life of Colonial Williamsburg Experience life on the eve of the American Revolution in Colonial Williamsburg; go inside the restored Capitol building as well as colonial houses, shops, and more where you’ll meet historic interpreters in colonial dress who represent actual citizens from the 18th century – tradespeople, drilling militiamen, statesmen, merchants, housewives... You’ll step back in time and learn about what it was like to live day-to-day in Williamsburg as families go about their chores without electricity, hot running water, telephones, computers or television! The entire day is spent as you please – but with a very special ending when you join us for a candlelight storytelling “ghost tour.” Meals B
