View Of Justice, Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

View of Justice

Living immediately behind the courthouse in Colonial Williamsburg provided residents of this house a great view of the justice meted out during colonial times. The stocks and pillory provided swift, inexpensive justice to wrongdoers, all visible through the living room window.
