Williamsburg is a large town situated in East Virginia, however the old town has been preserved as a historial and interesting place to visit. Some buildings are reproductions and some have been restored. It is not just an open air type of museum but people actually still live there. |

The authorities decided that Williamsburg would be built along colonial lines with lavish houses, gardens and municipal buildings. | | |
