<center>It was in Williamsburg that the colonists began to express their desire for independence from the British. Today, the historic triangle between Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg is called the 'largest living museum in the world'. Just southwest is Jamestown, where English colonization took root in 1607 and the friendship of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas flowered. Just southeast is Yorktown, where George Washington and his Continental army defeated the British 174 years later. And a short drive from each is Williamsburg, the colonial capital of the Virginia colony.
