Williamsburg:
You`ll never have a better opportunity to examine the past than in Colonial Williamsburg, as the town`s restored Historic Area is known. Williamsburg has been meticulously re-created to look exactly as it did in the 1770s, while the town served as Virginia`s capital. Today, Williamsburg`s central Historic Area is, for all practical purposes, one of the world`s largest and best living-history museums. At Williamsburg you`re able to view the beauty and wonders of Americans past. Colonial Williamsburg features original buildings with unique artefacts still displayed. The entire town is a living museum complete with educational tours, historical re-enactments and demonstrations. Colonial area offers over 90 acres of gardens, 88 original structures, 40 exhibit buildings and many quaint inns and taverns, inviting the visitor to experience life much as it was 300 years ago. In addition to taking in the best of the old world you can find new and exciting big name theme parks, challenging golf courses, water parks and first class shopping and dining. Anytime of the year is a great time to visit Williamsburg. From the spring tulips to the summer crepe myrtle trees, Williamsburg`s seasonal changes are photographed avidly by visitors from around the world. Fall brings its own rewards, as Williamsburg`s spectacular trees flaunt their blazing colors. Winter is not without an occasional dusting of snow, but with a brilliant clear blue sky, the colonial architecture is brought to life. Bring your camera to the birthplace of our nation, Williamsburg, Virginia. Taverns serve colonial fare, blacksmiths and harness-makers use 18th-century methods, and the local militia drills on Market Square. Clip-clopping horses draw carriages just as their ancestors did when George Washington rode these cobblestone streets. Your impromptu banter with `Thomas Jefferson` in the Kings Arms Tavern will seem so authentic. Regardless of age, anyone who visits Williamsburg will come away with an understanding and appreciation of how life was lived in 18th-century Virginia.
