Not all women were high-born ladies… many worked long and hard to survive. This walking tour will open your eyes to pieces of the past. Women were fully one half of the story, and you will learn about their roles as business owners and consumers. Over more than 325 years, the buildings in Williamsburg have had many lives and multiple uses, as social and political history was made both inside and out, shaping the community we know today.

Anne has a wealth of knowledge about early American history. She intertwines that with interesting stories about individual houses, women, & situations. She has thoroughly researched what she enthusiastically shares. She is flexible accommodating is her audience. Always open to questions. She is a great communicator, able to verbally convey a picture of the times & the role of women in the culture. Anne’s enthusiasm is contagious & the presentation is very engaging & enjoyable.
