"This is the 3rd time I've toured, & I learned something new today! Very interesting, & the hot chocolate is very good."
"Interesting information and delicious hot chocolate."
"Worth stopping in for a tour of a colonial style coffeehouse. They do a nice job explaining who would visit and what would happen in a coffeehouse in colonial times. St the end of the tour one can sample either coffee or hot chocolate. While it isn't too sweet, it is rich and delicious. One of the better tours in CW."
"Great place to visit and sip a cup of chocolate or coffee while learning how the gentry operated while in town in the 1770s. They created the beginnings of our constitution while omitting half the population...which was black...and thinking of their white male rights. Oh yes of course women had few rights."
"There are three excellent reasons to visit: 1. You will have the chance to visit an excellent example of a recreated building built by the woodworking craftsmen of CW. 2. On recent visits, members of Virginia's founding families were there giving insights into the times with personal stories. 3. Thanks to the Mars Candy Co., you are invited to sample tea, coffee or the wonderful American Heritage hot cocoa. Passes are required for admittance."
