The news has been a lot lately. Living through historic times is hard, especially when you don’t know how it will end.

13 year old Rose learns this in 1774 Williamsburg.

History reminds us people have faced uncertainty before, and found ways to move forward.

Rebellion. Resistance. Revolution.
Rose, Nathaniel, and Pearl discover that history isn’t just dates—it’s decisions. Some kids’ history books oversimplify.
 Mine invite readers to think, investigate, and imagine themselves as agents of justice—even in 1774.

A History Detective Club member shared with me that her mom posed for the painting used for Colonial Williamsburg paper dolls in the 1940s. I was able to track the set down!
The paper dolls arrived in the mail this morning. I am so excited to have these in my collection.

For decades, my family has visited a small house in Colonial Williamsburg, just off Duke of Gloucester Street.

If you love Williamsburg, you probably have that place too.
What is it?

If you’ve ever walked down Duke of Gloucester Street in the quiet moments, you may have felt it.
That flicker of a dream.
That whisper that maybe, just for a heartbeat, you’ve slipped backward in time.
