Gunsmith of Colonial Williamsburg

I found the Gunsmith to be the most interesting and entering shop we went to in Williamsburg.

Very cool experience

I would LOVE to get a Rifle made here!

The absolute highlight of my trip to Colonial Williamsburg. This place is amazing, if you have the intellect to understand what you are looking at. This is the ONLY 18th century gunsmith shop in existence. They hand make every part of every gun in this tiny, non-descript (blink and you will miss it) shop. It would be a dream come true to apprentice here. The people here are the most amazing tradesmen and practical historians I have ever met.
Not an exaggeration, I would sell most of what I have in this world to work here (in this sweat-box of a shack).
I wish that they sold souvenirs here (shirts, hats, apparel, gunsmith tools, rifle kits, anything...) I looked for about an hour to find the last copy of the 1960s video of this shop, in the visitor's center.

We got there a few minutes before closing and the gunsmith stayed 30 minutes longer just to talk about his talent. Love the passion in his work!

Really interesting place and the man doing the demonstration was excellent and knowledgeable as well as friendly.

The guy working there is great, he knows his stuff & takes the time to explain & he makes it interesting

The gunsmith is a great place to stop in Colonial Williamsburg. I had a lot of fun learning how guns were made as well as traded. We even had a chance to hold one of the rifles.

A must experience if you travel here, or enjoy the history of firearms. The gentlemen working here have a plethora of knowledge and passion for history.

My kids lived their toys and souvenirs! Not too pricey and very nice environment.

Great staff very informative. I actually visited here twice during our stay.

Very cool place and of you have the money they can make you a working musket

Brilliant experts at this historic trade. Fascinating to watch.

If you are interested in the gun Smith's art, this is an outstanding exhibit.

Friendly staff, very informative

Most interesting place there if you are a old gun fan
