Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia: The People of Williamsburg

On our long and wonderful drive up to Connecticut to attend Molly and David's wedding in June, Anna and I stopped at Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, and spent two days there.

Colonial Williamsburg is "the world’s largest living history museum—the restored 18th-century capital city of Britain’s largest, wealthiest, and most populous outpost of empire in the New World." It is a true spectacle, and you can see a sample of it in the following fifteen photographs of the People of Williamsburg:
