In 5th grade my school took a visit to Williamsburg to see the historic colony. As I was there I learned that it was the capital of the Virginia colony. I also learned that they were still discovering different buildings and landmarks. I learned all the jobs the people who lived there did. What they did with their soldiers and where they stored the equipment and how they created their houses and everything they had in their town. It also is the worlds largest living history museum. They take you on a tour of all the habituated land to all the buildings. Which include houses, taverns, storage buildings for weapons and ammunition and much more. I really enjoyed learning about all the people from Colonial Williamsburg and how they lived and what they did. And how they survived knowing all the hardships they faced and how they over came them to create the country we live in now. It’s also so interesting to see how much things have changed from when they were building with less technology then we have now but were able to accomplish so much. They created a whole country with nothing like the technology we have now. Which shows how smart they had to be to work and create with the little they had.I liked meeting the people that live and work there and what they do and how they reenact what living there was like. Also getting to see the archeologist work and find buildings and artifacts was another thing I enjoyed. I appreciated all the work that has gone into Colonial Williamsburg to preserve it and keep it to where people can visit and explore one of the oldest settlements. And learn about our countries history and learn what we came from. Sites like this are significant because it helps people learn what our history is like. Teaches us how we got here. How Americans use to live and what they did for work and how they survived.
