    ❤❤❤ WOW! I loved this tour. I have an ancestor, John Waller, who was on Washington’s military staff. It gives me goosebumps to think that my ancestor stayed in this house where Washington had his HQ.!

    Great tour, when we saw the house the second story was open. George had a school room up there where he taught older boys that were interested in college. Williamsburg is a great part of America's history - very educational.

    I live 28 miles from Williamsburg and have loved it since l was a child. In the early 80s l was walking past the Wythe House and someone inside was playing beautiful music on a piano.

    So is he who Wytheville is named after? As always, brilliantly made. These are too good for UA-cam. They should be on a travel channel.

      Actually it is named after him. There’s also a school and other places in VA that bear his name. Wythe Candy Store in Colonial Williamsburg too😎. Thank you Bob! Means a lot!

    I enjoy your videos. I love Williamsburg a little too much. I pass out in certain buildings. The Kings Arms was the last. Americans know nothing of our own history. When we visited this house I had to answer all of the guides questions.

      Thank you Shirley! Glad you enjoy the videos and yes, our history should be a never ending learning experience that we continue to discover and aim to understand better. Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Thank you for your comment! 🎩-Scott

    Is it true he also owned a plantation in hampton which is now nasa/langley?

      @QuestCapsule  3 роки тому +2

      Yes the plantation is called Chesterfield and he inherited after his older brother died. The property is now a part of Langley from what Ive read.

    Facade is not symmetrical. It was measured in detail. Facade 2nd story window on far right. Study the brickwork in comparison with other window placements, esp. window below it.

    As much as I love and support CW I care not for its (and every other tourist destination) devotion to the dark and demonic world politely packaged as ghost stories. Nonetheless, another great video. Thanks
