I have been down to Colonial Williamsburg, 3 hrs south the DC, about 10yrs ago after I graduated from high school. But I never bought the entrance fee ticket to enter the shops for demonstrations. Since I am moving I am not holding back to save a buck.
Each shop has an employee dressed in that era, giving a spiel about their specialty, and all speaking as in the 1700's before the Revolution. Blacksmith, Milliner, Apothecary, Shoemaker, Carpenter, Wheelwright, Cooper, Town Hall for a hearing, reenactment of Declaration of Independence reading, Governor's house, Wig Shop, Peddlers, and Bakery to name a few. I spent all day wandering the small town, visiting the shops, and chatting with 18th century folk.
I also walked through William & Mary College. Beautiful campus.
