I was fortunate enough to visit Williamsburg with a great tour guide, VT member b1bob (thanks, Nat). Nat and I had discussed getting together for this trip for awhile and Williamsburg proved to be worth the wait. Visiting Williamsburg is both educational and enjoyable and is a must see if you are interested in U.S. history. The historic area is full of original structures as well as historical reconstructions intended to depict Colonial life. Thanks to the generosity of the famous American entrepeneur John D. Rockefeller, Williamsburg survives today and offers us a glimpse into America's roots.

Great page Mark! Would love to get back here some day soon. This is a fun place to visit, haven't been here is 25+ years, Thanks for all the helpful info. :o)
I was figuring on more hoopla for this colonial gem. Isn't there much more?
I hope this area is as great to see at Christmas. Will try to make reservations at Shields Tavern for Christmas dinner. Thanks Mark !
hello i am ready a Patricia Cornwall book and she talked about Williamsburg, so I was curious how it looks like. And I thought America had no history, this is a great place to relive the history!
some good advice of which we need as we will be here in a few weeks. Thanks
I visited about 25 years ago, pretty fuzzy memories were made a little clearer, great page.
Interesting and informative page from such a legendary place!
I liked this trap!
great page . i think i need to take out some time to explore the whole V. nice page
Good page. Williamsburg is well worth the trip.
Thanks for the "re-visit"!
