Colonial Williamsburg open thread

We spent today at Colonial Williamsburg. It’s quite breathtakingly beautiful — another triumph for a harmonious partnership between man and Nature. I discovered that I found it fascinating when the people plying a trade talked about their work. It was less interesting to see actors pretending to be famous people.

Of the latter, though, by far and away the most interesting (and the best performer) was the man who played the black Baptist preacher, arguing scripture with a Church of England cleric. Talk of religious freedom resonated strongly with me now that we live in an era when people abroad and at home are being persecuted because of their religious beliefs.
