Fords Colony newsletter March 2018
Folks considering a move to Fords Colony in Williamsburg VA should read the latest issue of the “Talk of The Colony for March 2018″
Talk of the Colony is the monthly magazine for Fords Colony property owners. It contains articles from their Board, committees and neighbors on Colony-specific and general interest issues. Potential homeowners can learn more about the Ford’s Colony lifestyle, from clubs and activities to volunteerism and the vibrant local area.
You will also find a brief description of 60+ clubs and activities available to Fords Colony residents. Joining a Club at Ford’s Colony provides a great way to meet new people and is part of what makes the neighborhood a very special place to live. These are not simply amenities provided by the management. They are the heart and soul of Ford’s Colony. The residents founded them, manage them, and fill the membership rosters.
Other articles in the March 2018 edition include a review of the newly re-opened Indian Fields Taven in Charles City- take a short drive down Route 5 toward Richmond and you will find an old friend, Indian Fields Tavern. Peter Weller, an Oregonian, along with executive chef Alex Collins, have refurbished and reopened this fabulous farmhouse and once again made it a must stop on the Virginia Capital Trail.
A post about what its like to live in Williamsburg and how The Street.com showcased Williamsburg VA among the top 30 small towns from a Topretirements.com list of 100 most popular places to retire based on reader input. The list featured towns smaller than 100,000, some of which are adjacent to or part of larger metro areas.
