In truth, there is not just one south. there is the deep south, of course, but there is also the coastal South; there is the Lowcountry, there is the Bayou, and there is the moss-draped squares of savannah. There are the rolling hills of tennessee and there is always the woodsy comfort of the appalachians. But for this particular editorial, we chose to focus on one particular square of our beloved south, and that square was williamsburg, Virginia. Colonial Williamsburg, with its storied history and neat gardens, sums up so much of what we love about the south: gracious hospitality, reserved elegance in the classic tradition, and a drive to preserve the best of the past while continually propelling itself into the future.
