    My husband and I used to visit Williamsburg almost every year , We built our own home with a lot of inspiration from there, sadly we haven't been there for probably 20 years. It brings back many memories of the great times when we were there. Thank you!

    What a treat for me to revisit one of my favorite places. I love it when time appears to stand still. When history comes to life and for a brief moment you are a part of it all. I truly believe in honoring and respecting our forefathers. They were the pioneers of this new country. They invented, made do and sacrificed in order to survive. And because they did we are privileged and should be humbled to live in this country. Amen.

      It really is! I remember from when I was a child the ladies were often sipping on these beautiful drinks made of lemonade with a layer of red wine on the top. They were beautiful. Early coolers I suspect! Not to be had on the menu when we were there that I could see. I may have to try to recreate it this summer.

    Oh my goodness! What a treat for this video of my favorite place to have popped up! I've been many times and will never get enough!
    I live in SC in a converted barn and use many of the colonial organic gardening practices at my country place. I use my beautiful flowers and herbs to decorate the altar table at my little country church which was founded in 1872. You mentioned garden videos you filmed there, so I'll l look for those next.
    Thank you so much for ALL of your videos. I was born in the wrong century. All of your content fits me just right. May God bless you with safe travels during your "wanderings"!

      There is something so different about the heat and humidity in the south. Such a beautiful place. I could spend a week there! I'm very happy there are no cars on the streets there. I think that really helps keep the early feel going.

All Americans need to be checking tags and practicing the same restraint. You will find a quality American crafted one I’m sure! I hope one of your viewers has a good source. Thank you for all your wonderful videos! I learn so much from your knowledge of early antiques. I look forward to them every week!

    It reminds me so much of Savannah! Absolutely stunning! I have never been but I would love to go. I have been to Pleasant Hill Kentucky several times and there is also another Shaker community in Auburn Kentucky. They don't have as many buildings left standing because they burned most of them during the Civil War.

They would tie a string to their legs so they could not fly away, but stay and lay eggs. Enjoyed seeing more on your video...thank you. Jo b.
