Colonial Williamsburg has several special events scheduled for fall.

This time of year is a fantastic time to visit Williamsburg as the leaves change color and the berries brighten for winter. During this time, Colonial Williamsburg hosts its Fall Garden Lecture on Fridays and Monday at 10:45am now through November 22, 2010. During the Fall Garden Lecture, which takes place at the Hennage Auditorium, a member of the landscape staff discusses the plants that make the historic area gardens look so beautiful during the fall season. Tickets are $5.

Rubbish, Treasures and Colonial Life: The Archaeology Labs is another special segment hosted by Colonial Williamsburg. Available now through December 28, 2010, visitors are invited each Tuesday to view archaeological objects and learn about current research being done by the Foundations’ archaeological staff. The tour covers the history of archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg and highlights artifacts from recent excavations. Participants will learn how artifacts, plant remains and animal bones play roles in the history interpreted at living history museum today. The tour lasts 90 minutes and begins at 9:15am, 10:15am, 1:45pm and 2:45pm.

“So Far from Scioto” is a limited engagement series that explores the American Indian presence on the eve of the Revolutionary War. The scene is presented at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily except Sundays and Mondays, October 2–October 16 in the Governor’s Palace garden. Admission to this program is included in regular Colonial Williamsburg tickets.
