Schedule for Friday, March 17th, 2023

​​

9:30 a.m. Orientation

We will gather at the far side of the Capitol Building by the Waller Street bus stop (see shamrock on map) for orientation. Jenny will discuss scenes from her book, The Voice, the Revolution, and the Key that took place in Williamsburg. She'll give you an overview of the history and the fiction before we visit the sites. The book will come alive as you walk the same ground where Patrick Henry lived, worked, worshiped and used his VOICE to change American history!

​

10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Walking Tour of Colonial Williamsburg with Patrick Henry

Our walking tour with Mr. Henry begins at 10:30, and he will discuss pivotal moments of his life and career as we visit the Capitol, Raleigh Tavern, Powder Magazine, Bruton Parish Church, Wythe House and the Governor's Palace. (We will not enter any of the buildings, so no pass is required. If you wish to go back to enter any of the buildings after lunch, you may purchase a pass from Colonial Williamsburg at https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/tickets/.)

 

11:30 a.m. Optional Lunch with Jenny, Libby and Patrick Henry

After the tour, we will walk to Merchant's Square for an optional lunch at La Piazza with Mr. Henry (order/pay your own bill). Jenny and Libby will sign pre-ordered books (or books you bring) at lunch.
