Williamsburg is know to be part of the Historic Triangle, the communities of Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown. Take a step back in time when you visit Colonial Williamsburg. Located midway between Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia (take I-63 to exit 238), this historic village has changed little from the time of our founding fathers. The capital of the colony of Virginia from 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was rebuilt in the 1920's. It is a living, working and almost perfect respresentation of the largest outdoor history museum. More than five hundred homes have been kept intact and restored. Many of the breeds of animals can trace their own lineage to the eighteenth century.
The town surrounds the one-mile stretch of Duke of Gloucester Street, Williamsburg brings back the colonial life that represents our simple beginings. You'll find hundreds of wonderful individuals and some dressed in period outfits that are friendly and willing to share the history of our wonderful past.Colonial WilliamsburgTo see some spectacular Williamsburg pages, please check Deecats and matcrazy1 |

Thanks for the review of Williamsburg. We loved the masterful preservation and seeing some of the craftsmen at work. Great costumed guides who never come out of their character or era. | msbrandysue Sat Sep 12, 2009 03:41 UTC
I had the chance to stop at Williamsburg on my way to Connecticut and now you've made me wish I had stopped!! Is this place more open than Alexandria or in a smaller area (walkable) like it? | angiebabe Sat Jun 20, 2009 04:10 UTC
