Theoretically, it was end of Spring and few days from the first day of Summer but the heat and steam (from the humidity) was out of ordinary in the area Norfolk, Virginia in 2018. One day, it reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Though, the learn and play STEAM activities in Colonial Williamsburg were conducted extra ordinary. They were very engaging, hilarious, in the same time serious to make sure the participants’ questions were addressed nicely.
Where is the Colonial Williamsburg aka CW? The CW is a living-history museum and private foundation presenting part of an historic district in the city of Williamsburg, Virginia, United States. Colonial Williamsburg’s 301 acre Historic Area includes buildings from the 18th century (during part of which the city was the capital of Colonial Virginia), as well as 17th-century, 19th-century, and Colonial Revival structures, as well as more recent reconstructions. The Historic Area is an interpretation of a colonial American city, with exhibits of dozens of restored or re-created buildings related to its colonial and American Revolutionary War history. Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area’s combination of restoration and re-creation of parts of the colonial town’s three main thoroughfares and their connecting side streets attempts to suggest the atmosphere and the circumstances of 18th-century Americans. Colonial Williamsburg’s motto has been: “That the future may learn from the past”.
