The characters inhabiting the world of Mad Men are not the best role models, as anyone who has watched the show for 20 minutes can attest. But occasionally there are pearls of wisdom.
On the episode that aired April 19, Betty Francis offers daughter Sally some great advice, suggesting that she visit the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area during her trip with friends. “It’s right on the way,” she says.
Much has changed since 1970, which is the setting of this season’s Mad Men. We hope you’ll make sure that Williamsburg is on your way sometime soon, and that you’ll stop by to rediscover America’s most historic Main Street. There have been some amazing changes since 1970, and even since last year.
Now, to set the appropriate mood, what might Sally have seen in Williamsburg 45 years ago?
