Propriety And Poultry In Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia




This man and woman carried on a rather heated discussion about avarice and ill-will involving a landlord evicting a tenant. The lady's chickens waited patiently in a traveling basket, a captive audience to the debate and the center of attention to many on Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg.

  3. Yes I think it would be great to witness one of these 'interactions' going on. The costumes really are very special.
