Beautiful home. One can only imagine the time, work and dedication required to keep it up to par. I enjoy viewing all the little outbuildings. Thank you for this.
Just discovered your videos. I've been binge watching them now. I'm a former historical re-enactor and dearly love your content. Beautifully done. And very educational!!!
@@Barbara-ty8dj Without revealing the episode idea, there may be a need to film there for a future episode i have been planning. Yes plenty of amazing history there!!
Another fantastic video from this channel. Excellent videography and narration, as always. I have a question. Do you know if the dinnerware in the dining room happens to be original? I am always fascinated by glassware and household goods and furnishings of our past. Thank you for all the work you put into bringing us such amazing shows. Always much appreciated. I hope both you and Sarah had a wonderful Easter. God bless! He is risen!
Thank you Cathy! Each room’s furnishing were mostly based on the probate inventory logs thought to have been associated with the room. Im not certain if the dinnerware was all original but do believe some items found in various rooms were original and other items from the listed inventory logs were taken from other historical homes from that era to closely match what was listed. Hope it’s been a wonderful Easter day for you and your family!
Thanks so much for this ! I'm from Va, but now live outside of Charleston, SC. I prefer Williamsburg to Charleston. Nothing tops CW for history and beauty !
Hi Carolyn! Actually it is! They have a process called microscopic paint flecks analysis that can look at fibers of paint from the exterior portion of the house and reveal what colors were used over time. Pretty neat to know the exact colors!🎩
One of the most compelling and informative dissertations on the balance, leadership, and yet ultimate sacrifice of persons, all contributing to the ultimate Constitution of the United States. Sad is it, that those poor human beings had no idea as to how much they contributed to an emancipation of an inherited wicked system, for as to at least enabling others to eradicate the system of their existence.
I didn’t watch this yet because I’m waiting for husband to watch it with me. I’m excited to watch this one. You and Sarah always work so hard on these videos. I did share your videos with all my colonial decorating friends though. 🖤🕯🖤🕯
Another great video. Something that is often overlooked or not done right is the background music but you nailed it! Question for you: do you have to get permission from CW to linger in the rooms to do your recording? Some places frown upon not keeping up with the guide. Thanks
So glad you like! Yes music is important and can be a lot if trial and error when searching for the right underscore track. Nope, As far as shots, all are part of the actual tour experience we went on and some quick cutaways as we walk through! It does help to be an editor when getting a shot in quick moving scenarios where you dont have a lot of time as a tour carries on i will say.
Aside from the fact of being owned by their masters that were provided for and had meaningful work with one ov the best outdoor visuals one could imagine. All things considered, the would be better treated here than from where they came from .
As a lifelong Virginia resident and frequent visitor to Williamsburg, l was surprised to see the house painted completely red. It may be historically accurate, but l think it looked much better before.
The out buildings are a fairly recent reconstruction based on archaeology and the inventory of the property. It was quite a puzzle to sort out! TM long time Williamsburg member
As I stood next to the Compton Oak tree looking at the Peyton Randolph house I wondered how many children thru the past 200 years have climbed and played on this tree. This particular day was rather hot and humid and the shade of the massive oak was a nice place to be. I looked over at the PR house and I was drawn to a window where I saw a young lady standing. I thought nothing about it other than she was there then she was gone. I walked over and began talking to one of the guides and told her I saw someone upstairs a few moments ago and she said it couldn’t be. That section was closed off for repairs. I later heard one of the guides saying that the PR house was one of the most haunted houses in CW. Now I don’t believe in ghosts but i sometimes wonder, what did I see in that window. At 74 years old it makes me wonder.
Im sure many have played on the Compton Oak, no doubt! I have many similar thoughts and wonders all over the city. I hear many strange occurrences have happened at the Peyton Randolph house and this one you tell is very eye opening! So much history there and all over CW!🎩Thanks for sharing your stories and memories!
This is probably a stupid question, but did owners of this status not have their own horse/carriage? If they did, do you know where they kept the horse and carriage on this property?
Hello Lisa, good question! Many of the wealthy would have had horse and carriage, others only horses. I would imagine they kept the horses / carriages in stables or larger storehouses near their homes. Thanks for your comment!🎩
William Randolph is my 9th great grandfather. This is truly amazing to see.
We are kin!
Wow Great
I too am related to John Randolph. Did you read Scandal at Bizarre? It has alot of Randolph history in it.

@@Barbara-ty8dj Ahhh, if we were in town then we might take you up on that!
@@Barbara-ty8dj Without revealing the episode idea, there may be a need to film there for a future episode i have been planning. Yes plenty of amazing history there!!

This was Discovery Channel but way better !
Thank you!!!🎩
Excellent video! I was wondering, is the outside of the house with literally everything being painted red historically original?

Thank you for watching and your words!🎩
Excellent documentary ! Was this the original color of the housep?
Mistake, it should have been house
@@drumclean9384 Thank you! Yes, through their testing they believe that was color during the time Peyton lived there.
Another outstanding video! 👏 Thank you!
Thank you Gloria!!
Amazing video! I learned a great deal about one of the many familles that are part of my story. Thank You!
Thank you Bonnie! So glad you enjoyed!

Very entertaining and informative video. Enjoyed it very much
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

William is my 9th Grandfather, he had henry, who had sally lee, Peyton is first cousin, 8 times removed! I would love to see his home.
Thank you for a most enjoyable tour. I live in Randolph County, Indiana...named for Peyton Randolph.
Very cool and thank you Clay!
Great presentation, as always, tha nk, you.
You’re very welcome! Thank you!
Awesome video
Thank you Rory!🎩

do you think you could go back and do the filming locations for outerbanks season 3?
Would love too! My daughter enjoys going on those shoots with us!😎

The Randolph house is one of my favorites.
Yes Doris, such a great home to see in passing or during a tour while in Colonial Williamsburg no doubt!🎩
I've heard from a former employee, that this house is haunted. How could it not?
As I stood next to the Compton Oak tree looking at the Peyton Randolph house I wondered how many children thru the past 200 years have climbed and played on this tree. This particular day was rather hot and humid and the shade of the massive oak was a nice place to be.

Most haunted house in Colonial Williamsuburg !
Might call for a new episode soon!

i wonder how the slaves that went with the english did?
