Tuesday Trades: Live with the Farmer


  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Williamsburg, VA USA (map)

The capital city of Williamsburg was not all of colonial Virginia. Plowing, sowing, cultivating, and harvesting: farm work occupied the time and skills of most Virginians in the 18th century. Free people, enslaved people, men, woman, and children could all be found working the fields across the colony. Join Historic Trades farmer Ed Schulz for a live Q&A about the skills, crops, and people that kept colonial Virginia's economy running.
