Think of a place where you can dress up as a colonial child, see real houses from the 1800’s, and even do some activities from colonial time! Yes, this place exists and it’s called Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. In Williamsburg, you can go in old houses, stores, and even attended a trial and get to be the jury! While in Williamsburg, one thing that you CANNOT miss is the ghost tour. For this special tour, you go around with a guide at night, in the dark, and hear ghost stories from the 1800’s. The guide takes you around to different historical houses where you hear ghost stories told by different people, each person fitting the story they’re telling very well. Most stories are told only by candle light. In the beginning, the guide tells you that 2 out of the three stories are true, but doesn’t tell you which ones...

Another thing to do in Williamsburg is the full house tour. You go in houses where people are doing things like wig making and dress making. You also get to see what blacksmiths, doctors, shop owners, and many more people would do back then. For example, you would get to see a wig maker weaving every hair into the wig, or what would be in old food stores and corner stores!

A final thing you can’t miss in Williamsburg is dressing up as a colonial child. There are tents all around that you can go in to rent a dress and bonnet that you can walk around in all around Williamsburg. It makes you really appreciate how comfortable and easy our clothes really are!

If you are planning on going on a vacation any time soon, I strongly suggest Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia because it is educational and fun at the same time!
