How well would your students fare as colonists? Well, that depends on a lot of factors, such as, do they believe in washing or showering every day, or even every week? As well as this online feature, students can also select a tour of the governor's or the preacher's house. Take a look at the ovens, the houses, the storehouses, and the land there to see how the colonists lived. Further interactive features here explore colonial clothing, events during the 17th century, Video Diaries, and an interactive voyage.
