  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (map)

In 18th century Williamsburg, Ann Wager made a living as the only teacher for the Bray School, educating enslaved and free African-American children from 1760 until her death in 1774. Join Mrs. Wager live and hear firsthand about her experience in this extraordinary glimpse into the ever-present past. Then, in a special version of these live streams, speak to interpreter Nicole Brown out-of-character to learn more about the difficulties of interpreting Ann Wager.
