The Thomas Jefferson actor was amazing!!
He is!! I was fortunate to meet him a few weeks ago at Monticello. He’s hilarious and adorable
Extremely knowledgeable and fascinating. He is now moved to Monticello. Always worth seeking him out when you visit.
He's papi.
We must protect him at all costs!!
I was wondering how does the actor, Thomas Jefferson field the questions from the public regarding his paramour, Sally Hemmings now that the truth has come out?
Enjoyed the interview very much 👍👍👍
Th k you so much!
Thanks for the tour , we missed it few days ago
Absolutely!
Wow....this does make me miss my time working there as a craft interpreter.....over 30 yrs ago! 😢😢😢
Right!???? I love CW!
Love going to Williamsburg in October .
Nice!
I can’t wait to visit!
Did you make it yet???!
Thank you so much for this. My husband and I visit Colonial Williamsburg every year, usually in the summer, and we LOVE it!
That man is THE MOST INTELLIGENT soul! Thank you for this video!
Agreed ...I am. Oh wait, you were talking about my guest. I agree!
Thank you for uploading this. I have visited CW many times and it is one of my favorite places to visit.
As a foreign tourist I visited CW about 8 years ago and fell in love with it. From what I've seen since it has expanded since then making me put it BACK on my bucket list to revisit and experience bringing others with me. I visited in the Christmas new year season and felt it enhanced the experience with carolling at night by the college choir, hot cider and chilly ghost tours along with the seasonal decorations. I am so grateful for the foresight shown by the Rockefellers to preserve the history and allow for this immersive experience. The interaction and inclusiveness (even after discovering via my accent my non-american status) of the interpreters was charming and allowed me an insight into what had previously been a dry subject.
Thank you for allowing me to reminisce and relive such a wonderful trip.
After watching this I now say Vote #1 Jefferson!
Thanks for the note!!! Have you made it back yet?
Wonderful! Bill Barker is brilliant!🙏🏻❤️
I agree he is!!!
I agree he is!

Stephen Seals made me tear up. 9:15
Faye…that’s because he is awesome.
Nicely done video. The new museum is open and stunning. Love hearing from the historical interpretors. They truly help you understand the people as they were in their day instead of judging them thru the lens of our day. Thomas Jefferson was a man driven by his passions and not prudent with his money. He was a good friend of LaFayette and initially cheered the French Revolution as a glorious thing to usher or aristocracy and in democracy. But then it turned to a nightmare before his eyes in the Reign of Terror. That just about broke him. His idealistic youth turned to a more cynical elder years. And he managed his money horribly. Not to mention how he managed his extended family. Debt, disgrace and some pretty abusive stuff from his son-in-law and grandchildren. His life story is filled with a pantheon of good and bad. If you have a chance, speak with this wonderful reenactor. Ask about his daughter.
Thanks for the tip!
My Friend and Family are taken me back to visit Colonial Williamsburg meeting Thomas Jefferson Bill Barker of bringing of character Foundation 18th Century. 😊😊😊
Excellent!
MUSIC IS AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWFUUUULLLLL!
Erik The Travel Guy Wow! I'd like to learn more about both of these 2 U.S. Presidents in history named George Washington (Friday, February 22, 1732-Saturday, December 14, 1799) and Thomas Jefferson (Saturday, April 13, 1743-Tuesday, July 4, 1826) at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.
Excellent to hear! Take some time off and visit Colonial Williamsburg!
Yep, the background music is too loud for conversation...
Omg! I actually thought it was Thomas Jefferson and not an actor!
Morgan…he was so good! It was incredibly easy to sit in front of him and simply imagine it really was him!!!!
Steven Seals is awesome
😀😀😀
What a Amazing Bill Barker Thomas Jefferson it's bright to meet you Mr. Jefferson, oh my gorgeous 😍President hero Thomas Jefferson Build our nation to the future pursuit of happiness ❤😀.
Want ticket to enter historic buildings in Williamsburg Va
😃
Excellent video! I wish people would stop calling America a Democracy. We are a constitutional republic. Just ask President Thomas Jefferson. 😊
Thank you my friend! I really enjoyed my conversation with him. Again, thank you for the kind words!
We were there today. This video was released in January so, just before things changed. We are from Georgia, they are very strict here in VA about masks. A lot of Mr. and Mrs Karen’s.
Ha! Love the Mr. and Mrs. Karen reference
@@Erikthetravelguy I go to William & Mary. Plenty of Mr. and Mrs. Karens in Williamsburg
@@staceyvelkovich1054 I'm here a week after toy. Only ones I saw wearing masks were the servers at restaurants and clerks in the gift shops. The interiors were all vaccinated and back to normal.
Karen is a racial stereotype. If it were directed at any other race it would be considered.....a stereotypical racist generalization. Not something to like.
Want to purchase ticket for $99.98 for Tuesday for 2 people for 5-9-2023
😃
We were in the era of grammar nazis, we have entered in the era of the can’t watch video because of background music
I would guess all the living history has been stopped with COVID.
They run a right ship over there! They’ve figured out how to welcome guests!
I'm here in CW now (July 2021). They are up and running with more opening every day as everyone gets back to work and travel. Only the summer heat and storms get in the way.
How do I send Thomas Jefferson's answer to our present day government?????
Right???? Kelly, I remember that interview very well! I’m pretty production, I was concerned doing an in character interview wouldn’t work. However, he was so good…I think it worked very well!
Jefferson didn't mention his enslaved mistress Sally 😏???
Hmmmmm. Remember to subscribe to my channel, please! Thank you!
You really believe that crap?.
Enslaved not slaves
Noted and thank you!
Too bad CWF changed actual HISTORY about 15 years ago. So it’s a pity People Say: “Oh I understand that now” 4 times! Just to sad they’ve ALTERED HISTORY!
Most of this CWF review was a waste of time on July 4 th aside from the Blacksmith, he doesn’t show 1/100th of the Real Colonial Williamsburg.
Sad to ruin what #WAS a wonderful #LivingMuseum
