Overview
Our Founding Fathers loved liberty. And loved the ladies as well!
Led by your 5-star guide on the romantic streets of Colonial Williamsburg, we'll explore the yearnings of our restless patriots who trod here – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry.
We'll learn their schoolboy crushes, passionate pursuits, and breathless encounters to (finally!) settling into loving, long-lasting marriages.
We'll meet the flirtatious ladies they yearned for, the haughty ones who rejected them, and the devoted beauties who won them.
I say! It's just like Bridgerton!
We'll also learn 18th-century courting customs and how a lady used her fan to entice a suitor.
Come see our surprising and oh-so-human founding fathers!
