Welcome to Colonial Williamsburg's Electronic Field Trip-Mr. Alderson's Farm. In the 18th and 19th centuries most Americans were farmers. Explore the rural traditions, self-reliance, economy, and seasonal rhythms of farming life.

Colonial Williamsburg Electronic Field Trips place a vast number of materials and resources at your fingertips. Please feel free to use these resources in whatever ways best suit you and your students. We have tried to collect some suggestions, some from Colonial Williamsburg historians and educators, others from teachers who have used Electronic Field Trips successfully around the country. You can access these suggestions by clicking on the teaching icon wherever you see it online.
