WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The Native American presence in pre-Revolutionary War Williamsburg is reflected in a new Revolutionary City story that begins a three-week run Oct. 3.

“So Far From Scioto” chronicles the story of three young Shawnee emissaries who were brought to Williamsburg in 1774 as security to ensure compliance with a peace agreement that ended Lord Dunmore’s War in the Ohio Country.

“So Far From Scioto” is presented at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily except Mondays, Oct. 3 – 24 in the Governor’s Palace garden and is part of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s American Indian Initiative, which takes a broad-based approach to include the histories of Native peoples in 18th-century Williamsburg.

This will be the first Revolutionary Story to draw on the talents and resources of the American Indian community. The Shawnee characters will be portrayed by an all Native cast. Admission is by Colonial Williamsburg admission ticket or Good Neighbor Card.
