The city has been preserved the same as colonial times. To make it look even more colonial, they had people dressed like they were in 1700. There were people in buildings explaining what their roles would be such as a slave, farmer, shoemaker, printer, wigmaker, wheel wright, blacksmith, and carpenter. Many of these people worked seven days a week, all day.
To my class - Thanks for the comments, guys! I'm having a good time in the States :)
I would love to visit where you are. If it's anything like the Village Quebecois d'antan, I bet it's really interesting and fun to imagine what it would be like to live back then. I bet the buildings are really pretty too. I like the colonial architecture. Keep us informed and educated!

Bonjour Samuel,
ReplyDeleteComme Carole, en voyant les photos et en lisant tes informations, cela me fait penser au Village quécois d'antan. Lorsque je retournerai aux États-Unis avec ma famille, j'aimerais bien faire un arrêt pour visiter Williamsburg.
Merci de tes informations!
Lucie :-)
