I received in the mail today a package I was not expecting.<\/p>\n
It was the Colonial Williamsburg 2010 Wall Calendar.<\/p>\n
I’ve been contributing to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation<\/a> for a few years now, even though it’s someplace I’ve never been, though I’ve always meant to go. They produce a nice history magazine, and I enjoy their podcast<\/a> as well; sometimes they talk to the historical recreation actors, sometimes they talk to historians about issues of colonial history.<\/p>\n So, now, I have a calendar for the office. It’s full of photographs of the buildings of colonial Williamsburg, with historical notes about what the building is, what it means, what happened there.<\/p>\n I’ll have to remember to take the calendar to the office. :h2g2:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I received in the mail today a package I was not expecting.
