Have you ever wished you could step back in time and have a conversation with someone from the past?... Perhaps family… an old friend… or maybe even someone who just inspires you.
Thanks to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in Virginia I get the chance to do just that. In today’s show I get to sit down and have a conversation with not one, but two, of the most famous gentleman planters of all time!

Exploring Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia and talking to the people who are doing their part in preserving the town’s history.

We’ll finish the show off with an amazing spoonbread recipe straight from the 18th century.
