That man is THE MOST INTELLIGENT soul! Thank you for this video!
Wonderful! Bill Barker is brilliant!🙏🏻❤️
As a foreign tourist I visited CW about 8 years ago and fell in love with it. From what I've seen since it has expanded since then making me put it BACK on my bucket list to revisit and experience bringing others with me. I visited in the Christmas new year season and felt it enhanced the experience with carolling at night by the college choir, hot cider and chilly ghost tours along with the seasonal decorations. I am so grateful for the foresight shown by the Rockefellers to preserve the history and allow for this immersive experience. The interaction and inclusiveness (even after discovering via my accent my non-american status) of the interpreters was charming and allowed me an insight into what had previously been a dry subject.
My Friend Was take me to visit Colonial Williamsburg Thomas Jefferson and so I was checking around to meet you at Williamsburg.
Thank you for this video. Colonial Williamsburg is on my bucket list of places to see. I hope to visit soon.
Stephen Seals made me tear up.
My Friend and Family are taken me back to visit Colonial Williamsburg meeting Thomas Jefferson Bill Barker of bringing of character Foundation 18th Century. 😊😊😊
Nicely done video. The new museum is open and stunning. Love hearing from the historical interpretors. They truly help you understand the people as they were in their day instead of judging them thru the lens of our day. Thomas Jefferson was a man driven by his passions and not prudent with his money. He was a good friend of LaFayette and initially cheered the French Revolution as a glorious thing to usher or aristocracy and in democracy. But then it turned to a nightmare before his eyes in the Reign of Terror. That just about broke him. His idealistic youth turned to a more cynical elder years. And he managed his money horribly. Not to mention how he managed his extended family. Debt, disgrace and some pretty abusive stuff from his son-in-law and grandchildren. His life story is filled with a pantheon of good and bad. If you have a chance, speak with this wonderful reenactor. Ask about his daughter.
Erik The Travel Guy Wow! I'd like to learn more about both of these 2 U.S. Presidents in history named George Washington (Friday, February 22, 1732-Saturday, December 14, 1799) and Thomas Jefferson (Saturday, April 13, 1743-Tuesday, July 4, 1826) at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.
MUSIC IS AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWFUUUULLLLL!

Omg! I actually thought it was Thomas Jefferson and not an actor!
