Once the capital of the Virginia Colony and the center of political, religious, economic, and social life in Virginia, Williamsburg is more commonly known these days for being the site of an immersive living history museum called Colonial Williamsburg.
But for scores of filmmakers whose works happen to be set in the 17th century, Colonial Williamsburg is also the answer to their prayers.
In episode 17 Candy and Ashley not only discuss how Colonial Williamsburg came to be, but also 3 notable film productions that used this historical setting as a backdrop to help bring their own stories to life.
