Ticketholders can watch slaves, townspeople and important citizens interact and discuss important issues of the day in this ongoing living history program. The drama of the American Revolution unfolds before your eyes, as seen through the actions and interactions of costumed interpreters. If you plan to visit Colonial Williamsburg for more than one day, don't worry - different programs are presented on consecutive days.
