Last Tuesday, Students "visited" colonial Williamsburg and simulated what life was like in the early American colonies. We visited many parts including a shoemakers shop, A milliner (female and hat maker) and Tailor shop (male clothing maker), Governor's Palace, Raleigh Tavern and Public House, Dame School (school where girls learn how to be a lady/hostess), College (Boy's School - reading, writing, arithmetic, Latin, geography), and a computer colonial persons simulation game.
