British Occupy Williamsburg!


Or so must have said the headlines in 1781 when Lord Cornwallis arrived. This weekend in Williamsburg, the re-enactors were there in their red coats. Regular "townie" re-enactors had to have passes to get by the military checkpoints, and I saw a couple arrested and led away for not having the proper papers.

The video includes an artillery demonstration. They didn't quite get off a shot every 15 seconds, but I think they made it in 20.
