The best way to learn about historic houses is to look at them closely, and the most fun way to look at them closely is to do a puzzle showing a wonderful historic house! So, we made a unique and interesting collection of Historic House Puzzles for you to enjoy!
This week’s puzzle is our home for the week. The George Jackson House was built c. 1774. During the Revolution, Jackson chartered a ship and ran gunpowder from Bermuda for the American forces. Today it is owned by Colonial Williamsburg and available for rental through the Williamsburg Inn.
Visiting historic houses can be a great way to get inspiration for your own restoration projects. The more immersive experience of visiting a living history museum, like Colonial Williamsburg, is even better. Seeing multiple houses along with stores, workshops, and streetscapes makes it easier to understand historic houses in the context of the time they were built. If you’re fortunate, you will see restoration work in progress and be able to talk to the people doing the work.
You can also gain inspiration and information for your projects in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
