About this title

Synopsis:

Today the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation maintains this eighteenth century capital of colonial Virginia and continues to refine its authenticity almost daily. The result of this painstaking re-creation is enjoyed by millions of visitors who come to Williamsburg to see the buildings, eat at the taverns and ride in carriages through its peaceful streets. An atmosphere of colonial lifestyle evokes a vivid and romantic period in our history which, while contrasting dramatically with today's standards, offers a measure of entertainment as it promotes appreciation for present-day principles.
