About the Activity
Come on to our untold secrets of Williamsburg history tour presented by Junket! Experience Untold Secrets of Williamsburg to discover the true, dark, and unbelievable stories of the giants of American History who lived here. They helped found our country...but also walked the streets of Williamsburg as living, loving, fighting, and real human beings with personal stories, good and terrible, waiting to be uncovered. While Colonial Williamsburg is a true museum of living history, many storytellers shy away from the details that made it real and avoid unpopular stories of the great, and terrible, men and women who lived, loved, laughed, killed, and died here. On this tour experience, instead of stepping carefully around those stories, expert tour guides will dive headfirst into unflinching accounts and gripping backstories of the famous and infamous figures who called Williamsburg home.1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours
