Christmas on the Homefront: A 1-Hour World War II Character Tour

Обзор

Be transported back to Williamsburg in 1943 in this 1-hour character tour. Learn how the citizens of the town are dealing with rationing, blackout drills, and all the new servicemen in town during the Holiday season.

Please note that each tour is unique, so the advertised routes may vary. You will be guided through town by either a USO Hostess or an Air Raid Warden. However, for evening tours, the guide will solely be an Air Raid Warden.

Since the tour is through the streets of Colonial Williamsburg it is weather contingent. Please be prepared for all weather conditions.

Please be aware that due to staff participation in other events, tours may be unavailable on certain days. For details about these programs, please visit our website.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this kind review. We are truly blessed when our guests appreciate our tour and our attention to the history of Williamsburg, especially the 1940’s. As Kenneth Corley said in 1942 ( he was the President of Colonial Williamsburg) “ Our soldiers would be better fighting men if they had a clearer conception of why we are in this war, and just what we are fighting for.”
