GOVERNOR'S PALACE (Colonial Williamsburg) 

I never thought I'd see the cellars! You explore the ignored places. I appreciate that.

Great job! Williamsburg is the jewel of eastern VA in my opinion

Wow what a gem

I remember they used to tell people they couldn't film on the staircase. I think it was only to keep them from tripping up the stairs. Nice Job!

Ok, now I must visit VA. Thanks.

It is incredible. Thank you for the post.

Thank you for giving such a thorough and informative tour of the Governors' Palace and its grounds. I attended the college in the early 1980s. In those days a College of W&M ID would enable one to visit the Colonial Williamsburg sites for free. But being rather busy, I only got over to see the Palace once. I don't recall them granting access to the basement in those days, but everything else looked pretty familiar. To me, the Palace is definitely the high point to see when visiting Williamsburg.

The last time I was at Williamsburg was probably 25 years ago. So much has changed. I don’t remember the formal gardens at the Governor’s mansion. Thank you for the tour.

This is a good one. Thanks

This is my favorite video you have done. Glad you decided to get those fantastic views with the drone. I'm watching it again. Thank you for sharing.

Chris, Nice job. I love Colonial Williamsburg. Your use of architectural terms continues to grow. Here is one you can use as a trivia question. The Govenors seal within the exterior pediment, overlooking the garden, is called a cartouche. I enjoy your site.

I love Colonial Williamsburg! I have been there twice. I appreciate, and enjoyed, seeing your perspective and some different areas I didn’t see when I was there. Thanks for bringing us along!

You are a super you tuber !

Thank you- it’s really a remarkable place- furnishings, history, and beautiful gardens! I hope to be able to tour it in person one day, but you did a great job! Also excellent drone footage- and extra points for completing the maze!!👍👍

That is a really interesting place. I've been meaning to ask you whatever happened to Stoners Store in Fredericksburg? I think it was on Princess Anne Street but I don't really remember

I toured it last November right before Thanksgiving and basically all the stuff you showed was closed accept for the main tour

Why were the fireplaces covered over? I went to Williamsburg several years ago and it was too hot and crowded to stand in line to visit the governor’s palace, so it was great to see what I actually missed. Did Williamsburg have a serious problem with malaria outbreaks like other towns and plantations did along the James River? I so enjoy the homes that you visit. Is there a place where the floor plans of these homes can be found. I may be strange, but I enjoy looking at floor plans of old homes and buildings because they put the rooms you’re allowed to visit in context with the entire structure.

Would the governor's palace be the grandest, most opulent example of the Georgian colonial style?
