Oh my, i just discovered your channel. This was where I worked as a young girl while my future husband worked at the Print Shop as the Master Bookbinder. You are an amazing storyteller! Keep it up! I just wish you could have seen us in the 70's and 80's.
I know when I see a video from this channel that it will be excellent in both content and videography, with outstanding voice over. Have you ever considered making some type of historical/colonial documentary that could be sold to schools, libraries and anyone that has a desire to learn more of our heritage? Also, travel sites and Virginia tourism. Many options and possibilities. I'm just tossing that out there. I really feel that this should be shared and enjoyed by more than TH-cam. Hope this finds both you and Sarah well and happy! I hope you both had a wonderful 4th of July!
Thank you Cathy! These are great ideas! We definitely hope to continue expanding the overall reach on TH-cam and well beyond! The places you mentioned would be great to connect with. We appreciate you very much!
When I worked at Colonial Williamsburg 45+ years ago the interpreters at the Geddy said the "Geddy spoon" was found by a child walking through the garden.
Ive read in the 1967 excavation in the silty soil near a well onsite, 4 teaspoons, and then 1 repaired tablespoon that belonged to James Geddy, II was found. The repaired tablespoon is thought to have been a part of set of 12, as there was an ownership engraving showing the number (12) and James and Elizabeth Geddy's initials (I 1G2 E).The tablespoon didn't have a makers mark though...but 3 of the 4 the teaspoons had their makers initials. 2 of the teaspoons had James Geddy, II initials (IG), and the 3rd teaspoon found had a (BH) mark, an unknown silversmith. The 4th one had (RS) initials, the unidentified owner of the teaspoon. It was the spoons marked (IG) and the one thought to have been owed by the Caldwell family (seen in the Art Museum in the video) that would have helped solidify that the 1930 dig at the Governors Palace that turned up a silver teaspoon with (IG) and its owners initial marking on it (The Ayscough Family) was probably made by Geddy. I haven't heard about the young girl who found one walking through the garden area but it definitely wouldn't be surprising with the amount of metal and artifacts they found on the site. Very interesting and so neat you worked there then! Thank for sharing!🎩
@@QuestCapsule you have so much great info. I really enjoy your videos. In the summer the buildings had over 2000 people a day from all over the world. Not much variety in our demos. As fast a we could explain our craft we started over for the next group. The guest really made the job great. I remember going to the Geddy to pick figs during lunch....who needs silver when there is food.
@@annscrafts2965 Wow, that's so many...very interesting! Thank you, so glad you enjoy the videos. Gotta love a good fig, especially a Geddy-grown one!🎩
I love williamsburg. I used to go visit my cousins and my one cousin who loved it as much as me and I would go to Gettysburg every time we came to visit .that might be once a month. I know when we had to give a talk in school about what we done on summer vacation, I told them that I had watched the movie at the visitor center 17 times I always planned my tours according to the bathroom stops in Williamsburg
Excellent video again! You obviously put a LOT of effort into research. No one has the perfect voice for narrating this type of historical info like you do, and the way it's put together...Watching your boots makes me feel like I'm there, walking alongside an old friend! Hello to beautiful Sarah, please! Looking forward to the next tour with y'all. Thank you both SO much for blessing us with your talents. May God keep you safe, healthy and happy until we "meet" again.
I was born nearby Williamsburg and visit annually. We visited regularly when I was a child and I’m sure it stirred my interested in history. It is amazing that these important buildings of the past were intact during the revolutionary and civil wars! It’s exciting to see there is constant excavations in the historical are and all of the wonderful findings to add to the collection. Wonderful video, voice and music!😊
Scott, Another fantastic video and thank you for digging into the details of the Geddy shop and home. A site we've visited many times but as always, I find your attention to detail and artistic view of these wonderful CW buildings fancinating, educational and entertaining. We were recently reminded there are 88 original houses, shops and structures nestled within the CW area. I thought of you immediately and what an interesting Quest it would be for you and Sarah to create a series of videos locating and exploring each of the 88 original sturctures. Maybe an in depth study on the more complicated ones and a compilation of the minor structures but which are still treasured original items to preseve and explore. Just a thought of a direction for you to add your magic to. Stay well and we can't wait for the next quest.
@@scottwieser3829 Thank you Scott! Great ideas!! Ironically, The next one up might be dabbling in this area a bit. Haven’t made an announcement yet but will be soon. In the works now! Thanks again!🎩
Do you know about the First Virginia Thanksgiving? That might be a great event for you to video. It's held the first Sunday in November every year at Berkeley Plantation in Charles City, not too far from Williamsburg. There is a reenactment with local native Americans and actors, a tour of the plantation, and other activities. It will be November 3rd this year.

Amazing!! A great setting to meet your husband! So glad you found us!🎩Thank you!
I always learn something from your videos. I have been to CW over 40+ times but I still learn something every time I watch your videos.
