Everywhere we went there were people, dressed in period costumes, who shared great information about the areas. We did not have time to make it into every building but did tour a couple of homes of middle class residence and Bassett Hall, the 18th century country house and home of John D. Rockfeller, Jr and his wife, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, in the 1930’s and 1940’s. See more information about it at http://www.history.org/Almanack/places/hb/hbbass.cfm Today it appears as it would have during that time period. A tour guide, who obviously loved the Rockefellers, shared much of the life of them during that period. The furnishings and decorations in this house are just as they were when they lived there. It was a great, great day. We would have needed another day at least to see everything. For more information go to: http://wwwcolonialwilliamsburg.com/.
