Tom and Betsy Keogan Williamsburg, VA

Nothing conjures up patriotic images quite like Williamsburg.   The recreation of an entire town just months before the Revolutionary War is impressively thorough.  Shopkeepers, politicians, clergymen, servants, doctors, judges, young boys marching off with drums, and even a farmer who just wants to get his oxen home before supper are all portrayed.

Since many colonists were illiterate, shops used graphics to explain their wares.  At far right, a wig dummy peers pensively out the window of the wig shop; perhaps knowing that the future for male waigs did not look good with the coming of war.
