*FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY-AGES 17 +*
During this one-hour walking tour, hear the darker side of 18th-Century Williamsburg. Stories of murder, mayhem, and scandal--those things talked about in taverns, back alleys, and the courts--straight from the town's citizens. Each tour will be different and the stories are a-plenty.
Due to the sensitive nature of the subjects and the salty language of the time, this tour is recommended for mature audiences 17 and older. Please note, that since every tour is different, the routes advertised may also differ.
Please note: Due to staff participation in other events, tours may be unavailable on some days. Please see our website for information.
Shades of Our Past is not affiliated with Colonial Williamsburg; therefore, this tour does not include entrance or admission into Colonial Williamsburg-owned buildings. Since the tour is through the streets of Colonial Williamsburg it is weather contingent. Please be prepared for all weather conditions.

5.00I really enjoyed this nighttime tour! LeeAnn portrayed Mrs. Goosely who was apparently the town gossip. She knew all the shady goings-on in Williamsburg in the 18th century. These were REAL fact-based stories. I've taken plenty of tours in Williamsburg and heard about things I've never heard before! It was a lot of fun! I would recommend it for adults, though due to adult topics.
Great experience!

5.00Leeann and Bill Rose are two of the hardest working and creative people I know. I knew that this tour would be fun and I was right. Knowing the amount of research and dedication that goes into each and every tour makes me appreciate the event even more. Thank you for continuing to be part of a beautiful town that comes to life every day.

5.00Fun evening tour/talk with a real(?) character. Our guide was a bailiff of the court and told us of real felony cases from 1776 (and prior). Interesting to learn of the similarities and differences in law and justice from then and now. If you love history, this tour is worth it!
Enjoyable
