Students will visit various historical spots, like Lord Dunmore’s Governor’s Palace at Williamsburg and the Capitol at Williamsburg where the House of Burgesses governing body once met. In history class, students will be reading about early American life in the thirteen colonies, from food, to government to clothing and daily life.
