the stocks


1956.  This is the summer we made our road trip out east.  This picture was taken while we were visiting colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.  The beautifully restored village gives the visitor an idea of how people lived during colonial times.  You will see a working bakery and a working blacksmith shop along with the courthouse and other dwellings.  The gardens are very, very pretty.  I see that the use of the public stocks was an acceptable form of punishment for somewhat minor offenses back in the day.  Hmmm...no, we're not being punished for anything.  We are just having some good ol' fun...family style.
