Discover the idea of America in Historic Williamsburg, VA

This is where it all began…the place where America came to be. Williamsburg, Virginia was a thriving 18th century community; the largest and most populated of Britain’s original 13 colonies. It was also a place where colonial unrest for equality, freedom and independence grew into a revolution that changed the face and the entire complexion of the world.

Today Williamsburg looks much as it did during colonial times and it remains America’s largest living history museum. It’s a place where you can be enchanted by the sights, sounds and stories of yesteryear, yet delighted by modern day conveniences and thrilled by world class theme parks and attractions.

Combining with nearby Jamestown and Yorktown to form the “Historic Triangle,” the historic Williamsburg area features more than 500 original and carefully reconstructed public buildings, 40 exhibit buildings, private homes, quaint inns and taverns, shops and 90 acres of public parks and gardens.

History aside, Williamsburg is also home to Busch Gardens, regularly voted the world’s “most beautiful theme park.” You’ll also find a refreshing water park, fabulous shopping and dining, outstanding golf courses and a variety of unique entertainment venues that help make Williamsburg the ideal vacation spot for every member of the family.
