History-Sode | Kids in 1671

Quick Note: This episode has no music due to technical issues.

In this history-sode, Auntie JoJo takes listeners back to colonial Virginia in 1671. Through sound and storytelling, you’ll walk through a plantation at sunrise, sit at a colonial dinner table, peek at an early hornbook, and hear what might have scared kids and adults at night. This episode blends facts with imagination to make history feel alive.

  • Morning chores and daily life for children on a Virginia plantation

  • Typical colonial meals and why sugar was a rare treat

  • Education and church life in the 1600s

  • Games, storytelling, and simple fun kids made for themselves

  • The tobacco economy and colonial society under Governor Sir William Berkeley

  • The atmosphere of fear that sometimes led to witchcraft accusations

You can include this in your show notes/blog so listeners can learn more:

  • Lorena S. Walsh, Motives of Honor, Pleasure, and Profit: Plantation Management in the Colonial Chesapeake (University of North Carolina Press, 2010)

  • Philip Alexander Bruce, Institutional History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1910)

  • Library of Virginia – Digital Collections on Colonial Virginia Life

  • Encyclopedia Virginia, entries on Colonial Society and Governor Sir William Berkeley

  • Jamestown Settlement & American Revolution Museum – “Daily Life in 17th Century Virginia” (living history resources)
