Description

In Colonial Williamsburg even the birdhouses are historically accurate.  Baltimore orioles, catbirds, martins, and even grosbeaks found glazed birdhouses modeled after one used two centuries ago.


The clay birdhouses are authentic reproductions of an 18th century bird bottle which was excavated from the James Geddy House Yard by Ivor Noel Hume, director of archaeology for Colonial Williamsburg.  


Donated in Memory of Michael Crowley.
