A smiling man wearing a black-and-white checkered shirt and a white sash gestures with his hand while speaking to a group outdoors, with leafy trees in the background.

A man dressed in colonial-era clothing, including a black vest and tricorn hat, stands outside by a brick wall and points with his right hand. A tree and historical plaque are visible in the background.

A person dressed in colonial-style clothing and white stockings walks on a brick path, carrying a metal and glass lantern by their side.
