Thanks for this interesting video, as it brings back so many happy memories from my childhood.
I stayed in Williamsburgh for several months over the autumn and winter of 1967/8, with my father, who I was visiting from the UK with and staying with his uncle and aunt, who lived in Bryan House, which is on the corner of Duke of Gloucester Street and Nassau Street, right opposite Bruton Parish Church (visible in the background of the ice-skating scene at 5':18"; at 15':14", and walking past at 36':34")
I have many fond memories of that time, and of the kindness of the local people, who worked in the various traditional crafts, and who took care to make sure I didn't get too lost as walked around the town in my tricorn and knee breeches on my daily travels, usually before getting on a tour bus to go and watch "Story of a Patriot", a film on the American Revolution that showed every day in Jamestown, which I oddly recall starred a young Jack Lord.
With the exception of the television and refridgerator, and the various other modern electrical devices, everything in Bryan House was made by my dad's uncle, who was a cabinet-maker, and his aunt, who was a seamstress, and who like most of the other people living or working in the historical part of the town, wore period costume on a daily basis.
It was a magical place for a young boy to experience and I very much hope to go back and visit again one day.
I’ve listened to a number of Williamsburg RUclips videos today. This is the first one with appropriate background music. Thank you!
I remember coming here with my parents in 1976! I hope I get to return someday again. So happy to see that it's also puppy friendly! The governor's palace is gorgeous.
Yes very beautiful place!! Thanks for watching!🎩
This is my favorite place on Earth.
Im going to have to agree with you Dustin, definitely one of my favorites too. Thanks for watching.🎩
Many of your fine videos remind me of my grandparents, who created detailed audio cassettes of their annual winter trips from Ontario to Florida in the 1970's. They drove through many of the places you have featured and I love the feeling of reminiscence that comes with watching them. Nana and Grampa are long gone but I listened to the tapes they made hundreds of times. I was just a young teen when they first made them and I diligently studied the routes they took on maps, and still do to this day. Many thanks for your well researched and professionally made scenic tours. I subscribed after watching this particular one.
Blessings to you and your family,
CW, Saskatoon, Canada
Thank you Celtic Warlord for watching and sharing the story of your grandparents. I'm so glad the video and your audio cassettes have enabled you to remember them and their many quests. Memories and moments that will forever be sealed away in the capsule of your mind. I appreciate your kind words and for supporting the channel. Have a blessed day! - Scott
One of my favorite places ever. First visit was when I was in 4th grade many years ago. Easy drive from my parents' house so we've been many times. Thank you for the video. I especially enjoy the tutorial videos on wreath making, etc.
Really good stuff. Sort of narrated like a travel show. I can tell a lot of time and thought went into this.
Thank you for your compliments and words. Greatly appreciated and thanks for watching! 🎩
Wow. - Excellent production! Well produced, written and awesome cinematography. The flow and pace were spot on. Extremely impressed with your movie making skills. Everyone will always have an opinion. You stay focused on your own mission and keep doing what makes you happy. I proudly subscribed the minute i finished watching your film! Bravo!
Thanks Craig! Your positive comment is much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for your support! 🎩
The most complete and beautiful view of Williamsburg, VA, that I have ever seen. Thank you for your wonderful video.❤
Thank you Noreen, so glad you enjoyed it.🎩
I love this history can’t get enough of it
Thank you Mary!🎩
I don't understand why there are cars parked along the street. In all the times I have been there, cars were not allowed in the historic area.
Just stumbled across your videos and, I must say, the production quality is absolutely stunning! As another commenter said, waayyy too good for RUclips. Thanks for the incredible video of CW!!
Thank you!!
Great video and presentation. Thanks for your time and effort.
tinmanx2222 You’re very welcome! Thx for watching!
I absolutely love this you did an amazing job editing and narrating this video.
Thank you Nathan! Your words are appreciated!
Absolutely love these narrated videos. This is by far your best video. Excellent cinematography.
Thank you!! I hope you get some time to check out some of my other Colonial Williamsburg videos…believe im up to over 30 from the area! Thanks again!
I went on a class trip in the 8th grade back in 2004 and I have been determined to go back some day and explore all of it
Hopefully, this will suffice a bit until you're able to return! Thanks for watching!
BEST video on Williamsburg!! Thank you!!! Great work!! I hv watched it a few times because there is soooo much to learn. The details you have provided are incredible.
Thank you Rachel! So glad you liked it!
I first visited Colonial Williamsburg in 1954. I didn't think about dressing up, but I did buy a tricorn hat as a souvenir before I left. I wouldn't dress up today because, like you said, I don't want attention or questions. My many photographs are for my personal use and not for sale or commercial use. I have even stopped photographing because of restrictions and respect for others. But I DO set my mind back 400 years before I start my walking tour.
*I enjoyed your eye-opening video.
Correction - FDR did not have anything to do with the restoration. It was the idea of Dr W A R Goodwin, Vicar at Britten Parish Church & financed by John D Rockefeller.
Hi Jessy! At the beginning of the video, I mentioned FDR said it was the most historic avenue in all of America. Hmm...I don't believe I said anything regarding FDR having something to do with the restoration? Anyway, I appreciate you watching and providing your comment! Thank you!
THESE TOURS ARE AWSOME keep up the good work man
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked!
This was awesome! Thank you
Excellent video and very informative. I was there two years ago and had a wonderful time. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you for watching and your support!
Live in Richmond and I go to Williamsburg every chance I get. Such a wealth of history.
I was just there today and it was amazing… but this video was better! You did a great job man
Such a wonderful place to be...Thanks so much Ernest!
Be sure to check our our latest documentary, The Restoration of Colonial Williamsburg - The City That Stood Again, when you get some time...it's on the channel now for viewing. Thanks again Ernest!
Very enjoyable.
Thank you!🎩
wonderful! Is this our time is at hand once again to fight for our freedom?
What a beautiful place, if it weren't for the tourists you would genuinely believe you were in a different era.
Yes very beautiful and does feel like you stepped back in time!🎩
I am really glad that I had the chance to visit Colonial Williamsburg when I was working in the city in the summer of 2019 , charming place .
Yes such a great place and 2019 was a much different time there. Thanks for your comment and watching Yanal!
Enjoyed the video, thank you! It would be really awesome that we can view the goings on among the storytellers and interpreters at CW.
Thanks for watching Tina!🎩So glad you enjoyed!
Great job, and beautiful day.
Thanks Daniel!
well done!
Thank you! 🎩
It"s so wonderful and historic all at once and it really feels like your back in time to the 1700s. And it is a wonderful way to get to know what the historic pass was like back then. Susan Iseman Upstate NY.
Thanks so much Susan! So glad you took the tour with us!😊
Love it.
Thanks Negan the Cliffhanger! Really glad you like it! 🎩
I love Colonial Williamsburg. I wish I could afford to visit every year.
Such a great place Doris! Yes, does require a little travel budget typically. Thanks for watching.🎩
Fun fact: Make sure when you go to Colonial Williamsburg get a guided tour. So much more interesting history! It's amazing how many buildings weren't originally there and were moved from other locations. I was awestruck by the number of graves under the Bruton Parish Church! They are marked and it gives you the creeps!
I went here with my husband back in 2010, I loved it so much I wanted to move there. We also visited the colonial triangle which was also very cool.
Yes, such a wonderful place to spend time at. Absolutely love all areas of the triangle. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Loved your video! Can you please tell me the name of the song that starts at 19:53? Thank you!
Druken sailor fiddle tune!
What is the song playing at 30:36?
beautiful town is like to be back time .
Had my honeymoon in Williamsburg ❤
this guy's voice is majestic AF
Thank you Ladea!
33:48 it makes me laugh so hard how he says stoolen lol
🤣
Been there three times, '69, 70 something and last June during the crazieness. At not crowded that time. :)
Yes it definitely was a lot different last year. Thanks for watching Joe🎩
As a matter or fact I'm actually am most definitely going there,by the time Halloween 🎃 gets here,oh, yeah can't hardly 😅 wait,your actually r stepping back in time to feel the real sensation,and once u get there you'll never want to go back!!mark my words 😊❤!!
Well said Darrell! Long live Williamsburg!
Is Williamsburg handicap accessible?
Hello there, this is some info from their site: Guests with wheelchairs will find the streets, most gardens, and outdoor activities in the Historic Area accessible. While ramps and wheelchair lifts are available at selected exhibitions, many of the historic buildings require at least a few steps. ... Colonial Williamsburg's shuttle buses are wheelchair accessible. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
When I attended William & Mary in the late '50s, the streets of Williamsburg were open to cars. It was not uncommon to have lost tourists stop us and ask directions. We would advise them to "Go down the Duke of Gloucester St and turn right at the first traffic light." Of course, there were NO traffic lights on the Duke of Gloucester St. I see that the town has changed somewhat since then. On the corner across from the entrance to the College was a Howard Johnson restaurant and across from that was "The Corner Greek's". Down the street was "Christiana Campbell's Tavern" where a wandering minstrel sang ballads and played the lute. Some of my Page ancestors lie buried in the Bruton Parish Churchyard.
That is an amazing reflection and a hilarious bit of direction given to lost tourists😂Thank you for sharing these details of old Dog Street Neil!
@@QuestCapsule Thanks, I won't disclose a few other pranks we perpetrated. :) BTW, the singer/lute player's name was Tayler Vrooman. Search his name on YT .
The first wooden church did not rest on the same spot as the brick church.
Nope, it did not, Hopefully, the video did not make it sound like that. Thanks for watching Anne! -Scott
Looks like many historic parts of here in England
Thanks for your comment from England!
The last statehouse burns in 1698, they make this the Capital in 1699.
Yes, your right, the statehouse burned, and then later, Williamsburg became the Capital. In the video, I mention it "eventually" became the capital in the video. I wish I would have been more specific as this has been brought up before adding some confusion... thank you for mentioning it and watching! 🎩
im related to mother of thomas lynch 8th signer..
On the church - It must have been interesting to believe in the revolution, but to attend the Anglican / Episcopal church in Williamsburg since the head of the Anglican church is the reigning monarch of England. At the time it would have been the king of England. And, I just got back from my first visit to Williamsburg. We were not allowed to go inside the church. They were having a Mass Service in the yard next to the church. Temporary chairs were setup everywhere.
Good point and definitely something interesting to ponder. Good to hear you made your first trip to CW! Thanks for watching and commenting Jim!
They paved black pavement on Duke of Gloucester a street....
Yes, we were very glad to document Duke of Gloucester right before the repavement project!
Quest Capsule I have family in the Williamsburg area. I visited CW in Dec of 2017. It was freezing.
@@TechnocracyGaming Yes, it can be very cold there then. This video was actually filmed in December there.
It looks terrible! I am so glad we visited when it was lined with cobblestone. Now it looks like a modern roadway not in sync wirh the historical look - BIG mistake!
Asphalt deteriorates quickly so hopefully a new group will bring back the original integrity of the street.
Walk after dark and you get a better sense of the period, without the tourists there during the day.
Absolutely! Love an evening walk down DOG street. Thanks for watching Kevin!
