Take a guided tour through Custis Square, where archaeologists have recently begun a 5-year exploration of the 4-acre home and early 18th century gardens of John Custis IV. Learn about his time in the burgeoning capital city of Williamsburg and what our previous excavations have revealed about the wealthy planter and statesman—and talk with archaeologists in the field about what we’re learning from the current project! Weather dependent.
