They DO do it the 'hard' way... And it's a good learning experience for all ages!

Brings back memories. My wife and I took our daughter (and usually one of her friends) to Williamsburg for the July 4 weekend from about 1997 or 1998 to 2005. We knew the layout of DoG (Duke of Gloucester) Street about as well as the tour guides (called docents, and we had some pretty decent docents). She's 21 now, and prefers other things, but remembers the lessons of Williamsburg.

VAL! (The shoemaker on the left) I know a handful of people that work at Colonial Williamsburg, and the dedication they put into their job is amazing. They spends years learning their craft and they do it because they love it - they're aren't ever going to get rich from it, that's for sure.
