Apparently this map was given out in Williamsburg, VA so you could take your own tour of Felicity's World. They no longer give it out but the entire area knows who Felicity Merriman is! We took our tour today on July 19, 2018 and took pictures of Felicity with all the places on the map plus a couple extra. We learned so much and had a blast!

We didn't get to visit this site but we did pass a horse the on the street and pretended she was Penny!
My favorite part of the tour was the bake shop. We learned all about how back in colonial times they would have a baking day once a week. The women would bake the entire day, enough for the whole week - breads, treats, chicken and beans in their brick ovens. We tried the ginger cake cookies and they were delicious!
I asked the girls what their favorite part of the tour was and they both agreed on the Public Gaol. They especially liked seeing the bed (coffin) and toilet in the jail cells.
We had such a great time, loved seeing everyone dressed up and learned so much!
