Colonial Williamsburg,
VA
Known as the "historic
triangle," Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown contain treasures
found nowhere else. Although all three celebrate and educate about
the history of the United States, each has a unique story and way of
exploring the past.
Jamestown

Site of the first permanent English settlement in North America,
Jamestown today is a historical site located within Colonial
National Historical Park and provides numerous ways to learn about
the past. There are no permanent residents in Jamestown, although
during the day it is bustling with colorful colonial characters and
tourists from all over the world. The two main Jamestown attractions
are both centered around the town's rich history. Jamestown
Settlement is a recreation of an English fort, a Native American
village, and the ships used to sail to the New World. Also at
Jamestown is Historic Jamestown , the actual site of the original
colony featuring archaeological digs and glass blowing.

Williamsburg
Made up of the old and the new, the city of Williamsburg is divided
into four main parts: colonial diversions, New Town , the College of
William and Mary and commercial attractions.

Williamsburg is best known for its colonial charm. Colonial
Williamsburg is one of the city's main points of interest and
features an 18th century town complete with actors
to create one of the largest living history museums in the world.
Visitors can interact with the townspeople to become a part of
history.
York Town
To gain an understanding of
events that led to America's war for independence and the impact of
the war upon o rdinary
men and women, start your tour at the state-operated Yorktown
Victory Center, a museum of the American Revolution.
Follow the Road to Revolution, an outdoor walkway to the main museum
building. Exhibits along the "Road" describe events that resulted in
the transformation of the mood in Britain's American colonies from
acceptance of the status quo in mid-18th century to rebellion 25
years later.
The experiences of a diverse group of people who lived during the
Revolutionary War are the focus of unique permanent exhibits
indoors. Visually dramatic presentations explaining the living
documents that marked the beginning and conclusion of the Revolution
-- the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and Bill of
Rights -- anchor the exhibit space.
In a large gallery entitled Witnesses to Revolution, you will meet
10 individuals who lived during the 18th century and recorded their
observations in letters, diaries, and pay and pension applications.
The witnesses are characterized by life-size cast figures, graphics
and artifacts representative of their lives, and spoken words
excerpted from their own writings.
From Converging on Yorktown, you will descend to the lower
floor to
experience the fascinating story of Yorktown's Sunken Fleet, ships
lost or scuttled during the Yorktown siege.
The exhibit A Soldier's Lot, explores the training, medical care and
daily life of the men who fought in the Revolution. The Unfinished
Revolution tells about the formation of the new national government
and inauguration of George Washington as the first president of the
United States.
