    Just amazing to see a blacksmith working alone in a shop with a mask on. Glad those days are behind us.

      It was definitely an unusual time. Tho the mask is probably good in general for not breathing in the embers from the fire etc...

    The shopping area is Merchants Square NOT Market Square. Market Square is 1/2 way down Duke of Gloucester Street-the area where the Magazine and Courthouse (not Capitol) are. That’s where markets and public auctions were held in the 18th century. Merchants Square is on the west end by the College, where 21st Century tourists shop, today.

    The governors Palace is my favorite building, especially the gardens. The last time we were there, several years ago, we went to a recreated witch trial and we were on the jury. Super cool and fun!

    You forgot to mention the Griffin Hotel that is on property as well. There are two buildings....the Green wing and the Gold wing. It's a great place to stay and within walking distance to the center of town. Some rooms actually have wood burning fireplaces as well.

    What an incredible eye you have for beautiful cinematic effect!! Are you a professional photographer or is the vlogging experience that has honed your skills? You are def a cut above the rest, Michael!!
    And your spoken content is also exceptional. My compliments!!
    I find one of the reasons one must stay for at least 3 nights in CW is that different trades and taverns are open on different days. Many are closed on some days and it can be disappointing if your heart is set on going to Basset Hall or the Cabinetmakers and it is closed for that day.
    Thank you so much for a wonderfully informative and fun tour.

      They used to have more for sale online. Take a look at shop.colonialWilliamsburg.com for their online shop which has 18th century reproduction goods and clothing/accessories

    I would recommend staying at Colonies at Williamsburg, Vacation Village. 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!!

      This was filmed in early May 2021. Some of the pandemic restrictions in place at that time are no longer in place. Also, the gardens tend to change pretty frequently.

    It's Merchant's Square, not Market Square.

    • @travelingtipps
      @travelingtipps  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I must have misspoke. There is a Market Square next to the Magazine in the historic district, and then Merchant's Square is the modern shopping area adjacent to the College of William & Mary at the western end of Duke of Gloucester Street.
