Williamsburg was the capital of the Virginia colony in the 1700s.
A bustling center for political outspokenness and cultural
development.  After nearly two centuries as a British
royal colony, Virginians led the American call for Independence.

The Printing Office and Post Office, on Duke of
Gloucester Street, served as the town's communication
hub.  William Parks was the public printer of Virginia,
charged with the job of reproducing the acts of the General
Assembly.  In 1736, Parks founded the Virginia Gazette,
the first newspaper in the colony, and promised to deliver
the "freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestick". Today,
Colonial Williamsburg's Printing Office, Post Office,
and Bookbindery complex keeps alive the
traditions of the colonial craftsmen.

In the 1700's, horses and wooden-wheeled conveyances
were as much a part of the urban landscape as homes,
shops and taverns.  Consequently, residential lots in
Williamsburg typically include a stable.  The Alexander
Purdie Stable is an outbuilding behind the Alexander Purdie
House, which serves today as the east wing of the
King's Arms Tavern.
