The Magazine at Colonial Williamsburg was built in 1715 and equipment necessary for defense against Indians, slave revolts, pirate raids and riots was stored there.
All the weapons stored in the Magazine are in working order. The array was vast and interesting.
The building in the background on the far left is the Capitol. More on that building in another post. The Fife and Drums marched from the Capitol to the Palace Green in the afternoon. Some of the players (fife and drum) were very young in age.
We walked through the tunnel below on the way into the city and again on the way out at the end of our day, only much more slowly having walked a lot that first day.
We left the City looking forward to a repeat visit the next day and a chance to see what had been missed on this first day.
