It's about time that Chris, who deals in 18thc and 19thc antiques, has made it into the twenty first century. He has done this with a real bang. You can see most of his shop, Trimble's Tavern by clicking here.
Chris discovered a love of History when he took 5th grade history at Walsingham Academy, in Williamsburg Va. Living close to where history actually took place did a lot to fire his imagination. We lived on Hickory Signpost Road. Some say that this road was the route that the Indian boy, Chanco, took to warn the settlers in Jamestown about an Indian Massacre. The boys were able to ride their bikes to Williamsburg and to the Jamestown ferry to Surry County. One of our friends gave Chris several military patches. He was hooked on collecting. For years he specialized in military antiques.
As you'll be able to see from his site, he still has some nice relics from the Civil war. His grandfather had Auslew Gallery in Norfolk, so he also has a love for paintings. His father runs The Trimble Collection in the Kingsmill shops in Williamsburg.
