Great video!!! 💚 This just made our move to Virginia this coming summer so much more exciting! 😄😆 Very informative will share with all my family. Can’t wait to get our new garden started! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
The route brings back such memories of living just half a mile from here! My husband was in the military! I miss this so much! Hopefully, soon, we will be back!
I love Colonial Williamsburg! I began taking my children there in 1999 and went back 8 or 9 more times. We would take Amtrak from NYC straight down to Williamsburg, then a 5 minute taxi ride to the Lodge. So convenient! We loved it!
I love Colonial Williamsburg!
I've been there twice. First time as a high school student in 1980, second time in 2011. Love that place. I could spend a month there.
I’ve been here 5 times never gets boring
Oh wow...my parents “dragged” my brother and I there in 1979 and I was furious. I was 16 and “hated” my family and our summer vacations. Needless to say I loved it, and all these years later I would give my left arm to travel back in time and enjoy that day with my family.
@@JF-NYC-NJ-Girl I'd love to go back again today, but travel is so expensive now I don't know if that will ever happen.
That was fun! Colonial Williamsburg is an American treasure and Mr. P. looks very dapper in his fine garments.
Love this..John you plowing on your Sunday clothes.
It’s so awesome to see Williamsburg again. I live in Ga. now and from Yorktown/ Williamsburg area. It’s such a wonderful place! Thanks for sharing....
RAISED IN DANVILLE VIRGINIA WENT TO WILLIAMSBURG,VIRGINIA WITH OUR CLASS AT ROBERT E.LEE SCHOOL SO MUCH HISTORY IT TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ABOUT OUR COUNTRY THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
These actors at Colonial Williamsburg are excellent
Thank you P. Allen Smith for the Video's wonderful views and detail shots. Your insightful questions helped bring the village alive!
How does this not have more views??? I *love* Colonial Williamsburg so much and even though I've been there twice, I can't *wait* to go again!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Very well done! Great work! Thanks for posting!
Informative engaging, inviting, beautiful cinematography, and fun trivia!
Great Effort Allen.Liked explanation and visuals of Washington/Jefferson/Williamsburg "veg patches", but you really nailed it plowing in those fine buckled shoes! I did not know they had a "plow cam" back in that time period. ((-: A&P
Wonderful video, really interesting. Really life at this time was not easy it required lots of work ! People did work hard for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Rosalind Hambleton Thank you for watching!
Totally enjoyed it.
I have made 2 trips to Williamsburg and loved it both times. Maybe I will visit again someday
I like love this. Please show us inside the old taverns. Make a place to buy like wooden lanterns & clothes. Some of us can’t travel there so would like to buy things made in Williamsburg.
New sub I absolutely love this I love history hearing about it and reading about it
We spent our honeymoon in Williamsburg.
Did you see the story of the furniture restorer, Leroy Graves, from Williamsburg on CBS Sunday Morning today? He is a very gifted and remarkable individual.
Did you ever go to the baskin robins there cuz we go there all the time
Love the vlog. 😄
P. Allen Smith Wow! I'd like to learn more about both of these 2 U.S. Presidents named George Washington (Friday, February 22, 1732-Saturday, December 14, 1799) and Thomas Jefferson (Saturday, April 13, 1743-Tuesday, July 4, 1826) at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.
Wonderful, thank you
Hello!!! New sub here and I LOVED this video. My husband and I are both interested in a vacation where we can be inspired and learn and have been considering Williamsburg as our first destination. Thank you for this video and all the inspiration it brings. Cant wait to watch more things from your channel.
Don’t rule out Moss Mountain Farm! 😁 www.pallensmith.com/tours
Love this place. Too old for the long days of walking there now. If you go: be sure to see the places you pay to see, before seeing free places. Must see is Palace and Capital. Not a lot for young kids. Need a love of history and or beautiful buildings. If you can work in rt5 as a route from around Richmond to the city. Years of eating at all the places offered only to find Cracker Barrel was the best. Do not keep your eyes on the host, look at the beauty of the buildings.
Great video. My wife and I have been there three Times and we are going back this spring.
Great video. This guy looks like Tim Robbins and sounds like Huell Howser.
I came here for school
I live nearby in Yorktown, Virginia. I have been saying for many years it would cool if P. Allen Smith did a show about our really nice October 19th Yorktown Day Parade. However, it is canceled in 2020. Maybe the show can visit us and tape an episode.
Now, lots of people eat on the couch while watching TV
Colonial Williamsburg is my favorite place in the world
Great video and Allen looking handsome as always😀👍
Nice
I went here back in 5th grade with my school
I want to go there and try To blend in XD
I wonder when the word undertaker changed from contractor to a guy who handles dead people?
I would recommend staying at Colonies at Williamsburg. It is a lovely property. We stayed there in 2019. A warning though! Please do not get snagged by the Concierge. She or he will offer you tickets to Old Williamsburg for just 90 minutes of your time. We fell for it. We were lied to by our sales agent Jackie, convinced to buy and now we our out $45K, all of our savings. My husband is a 100% service connected Vietnam Vet. I have been contacting the CEO's of VV for months with no response. Enjoy the property but go through Airbnb or some other rental and DO NOT BUY!!
Holy crap this was filmed a while ago
Did you go to the maze they have there it’s near the long grass field
I have a question...
0:53 I remember her
I just watched the episode that included a tour of a recreation of an 18th century Williamsburg garden. The woman stated that wealthy people of that time viewed these gardens as a status symbol and that the gardens were maintained by "professional gardeners". I would expect to be able to watch a PBS show that presents history accurately, all of the time. Those "professional gardeners" were slaves not paid employees. I am disappointed that the program decided to leave that bit of whitewashing in the show. Please get comfortable with our history and tell the truth always. Thank you.
i like messing with the tourists
C
It was the salves who did all the gardens, cleaning and serving and much more to the oppressors.
Hi, Josh I'm impressed you know your history that's cool but, I'm not a history buff no it doesn't matter whether slavery began in the fourteen hundreds or seventeen hundreds no other nationality have been used and abused like black people.
Who is learning this with your kids lol
I was gonna go to Williamsburg but now I cant because of Carona.
Ross Johnston 😢 now you can enjoy it from home. (Sorta)
anyone here from class?
.
I would like to know if a lot of people in Williamsburg va is racist against immigrants or foreigners?
DevBD Good question. I want to know myself.
Immigrants aren't a race, but to answer your question, Colonial Williamsburg has a behavior policy.
Not at all
Born and raised in williamsburg, I'm black, williamsburg is definitely a racist community
This is lame 😒?? But still awesome!!
And no single words about slaves... Painful history... Better to show everybody is kind working and gentle ... Hypocrisy no ?
George Washington was general of the Continental Army. Not the American revolution..........
