alk in the footsteps of Captain John Smith, Pocahontas and
the colonists who settled the first permanent English colony
in North America in 1607. Start at the Historic Jamestowne Visitor
Center which houses exhibits, a store and a multi-media
presentation highlighting Jamestown’s 92-year run as capital of
Virginia (1607–1699). From the visitor center, explore this original
site of James Fort where you are allowed close access to the
archaeological digs (April-October). Join in the moment of
discovery as Preservation Virginia archaeologists uncover the
settlement’s remains. The Voorhees Archaearium, Jamestown’s
archaeology museum, displays artifacts excavated from James
Fort and tells the story of the settlement. Here, follow the story of
a fourteen-year-old English girl named ‘Jane’ by the archaeologists.
Her partial remains discovered in 17th-century trash deposit from
“the starving time” of 1609-10 confirm the first scientifically-proven
occurrence of survival cannibalism in Colonial America.
Join a ranger or archaeology walking tour or stroll the island.
Remnants of the settlement are visible, including the 17th-century
brick church tower and archaeological remains of 1620s New
Towne. View the Memorial Church, statues and monuments which
commemorate important personalities and events of Virginia’s first
capital. Enjoy lunch at the café overlooking the James River and
soak up the island’s natural environment observing eagles, herons
and white-tailed deer. From the Visitor Center, drive the five-mile
Island Drive. Waysides explain how the early settlers lived and
survived in this environment. Don’t miss a stop at the Glasshouse
of 1608 to observe artisans practicing glassmaking, an early
industry attempted at Jamestown.
THE COLONIAL PARKWAY This scenic, 23-mile roadway
connects Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown, three icons of
America’s historic past. Turnouts provide glimpses of Tidewater
Virginia’s natural beauty and afford spectacular views of the James
and York Rivers. Administered by the National Park Service as
part of Colonial National Historical Park, the Colonial Parkway has
been named an All-American Road by the U.S. Department of
Transportation, one of only 27 roads nationwide so designated.

our visit to Jamestown Settlement starts with 1607: A Nation
Takes Root, a docudrama film that chronicles Jamestown’s
origins in England, the colonists’ struggle to survive and thrive in
Virginia, their interaction with the Powhatan Indians and the arrival
in 1619 of the first Africans, from the kingdom of Ndongo in Angola.
Comprehensive gallery exhibits build on the theme of converging
cultures and describe world events and social and economic
conditions that led to the English colonization of America and the
formation of the Virginia Company that sponsored Jamestown with
a goal of earning its investors a profit. Exhibits trace the development
of the Virginia colony from a humble outpost in 1607 to a politically
and economically secure entity. Find out about the cultivation of
tobacco, the cash crop that ensured the colony’s survival, and the
evolution of social and government institutions throughout the 17th
century, while Jamestown served as Virginia’s capital.
Outdoors, at a re-created Powhatan Indian village, learn how the
Powhatan people farmed, hunted, fished and gathered to obtain
materials needed for housing, clothing and food. Take part in
activities Pocahontas would have helped with as a child, like
grinding corn and making cordage.
At the museum pier, board the Susan Constant, Godspeed or
Discovery, replicas of the three ships that transported the original
Jamestown colonists to Virginia in 1607. A seasonal riverfront
discovery area provides information about European, Virginia
Indian and African economic activities associated with water,
including navigation, boatbuilding, fishing, commodities and trade.
Within a triangular wooden palisade, the re-created James Fort
interprets the settlement during 1610-14, reflecting its military and
commercial character. See a “settler” load and fire a matchlock
musket, a blacksmith forge tools or a carpenter work with wood.
Gift shops and café on museum premises. Combination ticket
available year-round with the Yorktown Victory Center, a museum
of the American Revolution. Special events and programs are
offered throughout the year.

Historic Yorktown
O
ne of the true jewels of the Historic Triangle is Historic
Yorktown, which has equal measures of history and charm,
all in a breathtaking Riverfront setting. Travel back in time, then
savor the present at this waterfront destination for history,
shopping, outdoor recreation, fine dining and special events.
Come for a day, a weekend or longer.
On the waterfront, visit the Watermen’s Museum, which tells the
story of the men and women who settled the Chesapeake Bay
area and earned a living from the tributaries that feed it. Yorktown
is also the home of several fine antique shops, art galleries and
charming restaurants all nestled in the village and overlooking
the York River. Don’t miss the free trolley that operates daily
spring through fall.
To add to the charm of your visit, take a sunset sail on the York
River aboard the Schooner Alliance or take the kids on a fun-filled
pirate sail aboard the Schooner Serenity. Take a guided Segway
tour of historic Main Street, or rent a bicycle, paddleboard or
kayak for a self-guided tour. Stroll along the scenic riverwalk
where you can relax on the beach, soak up the sun or attend
one-of-a-kind programs such as Market Days, beach music and
jazz concert series, or enjoy the patriotic sounds of the Fifes and
Drums. Part history, part adventure, Historic Yorktown has
something to offer everyone.
On the shores of the York River, Riverwalk Landing links the
Yorktown Victory Center and Yorktown Battlefield, two museums
showcasing the decisive battle fought here during the
Revolutionary War. This beautiful waterfront development,
designed in the spirit of colonial architecture, is reflected in the
town’s historic buildings and features specialty shops, riverfront
dining, an outdoor performance venue and free parking.
The waterfront is also home to two piers — one for medium
cruise ships and tall ships, the other for personal watercraft.

T
he British surrendered; Independence was won. Yorktown
Battlefield is the site of the final major clash of the American
Revolutionary War and symbolic end of the colonial period of our
nation’s history. On these fields in the fall of 1781, General George
Washington and his allied American and French army surrounded
and besieged General Charles Lord Cornwallis’ British and
German forces at the port of Yorktown. The ensuing British
surrender resulted in the war’s end, resulting in Great Britain
acknowledging independence from the United States of America.
Administered by the National Park Service as part of Colonial
National Historical Park, the Yorktown Battlefield allows visitors
the unique opportunity to follow in the footsteps of General
Washington and walk the actual ground where these important
historic events took place.
In the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center, walk the quarterdeck
of a full-sized replica of a British warship and examine a collection
of artifacts from the battle, including a variety of flags and
weapons surrendered by the British at the end of the siege.
Be sure to see the exhibit of tents used by General Washington
during the campaign. The tents are housed in a state-of-the-art
exhibit case, allowing visitors to not only view the tents, but
actually enter the walls within which General Washington planned
one of the most momentous events in our nation’s history.
Walking tours of the battlefield and the historic town are offered
on a daily basis. A seven-mile, self-guided driving tour winds
through the cannons, fortifications and markers of the battlefield
for a chronological tour of the siege. See original and reconstructed
earthworks and siege lines. At Surrender Field, stand on the very
site where the British troops laid down their arms on October 19,
1781 and effectively ended the American Revolutionary War. The
National Park Service also operates historic houses and sites in
the village of Yorktown.

ain a new appreciation and understanding of the nation’s
beginnings at the Yorktown Victory Center, a museum of the
American Revolution, near the battlefield where the decisive battle
took place in the fall of 1781. America’s evolution from colonial
status to nationhood is chronicled through a unique blend of
thematic exhibits and outdoor living history that emphasizes the
experiences of ordinary people.
The introductory Declaration of Independence Gallery portrays
the revolutionary document — including a July 1776 broadside
printing — that inspired decisive action and attracted international
attention. In the Witnesses to Revolution Gallery, you will encounter
two African-American slaves who supported opposite sides, a
Mohawk chief who struggled to keep his people neutral and a
Virginia plantation owner who remained loyal to Britain. The
witnesses theme continues in an evocative 18-minute film, A Time
of Revolution. The Converging on Yorktown Gallery illustrates the
movement of British, French and American troops in 1781 and the
three-week siege at Yorktown that resulted in British capitulation
and ensured American independence. The Legacy of Yorktown:
Virginia Beckons examines how people from many different
cultures, those in Virginia before the 1607 founding of Jamestown
and those who arrived later, shaped a new society, and the
emergence of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
In an outdoor re-created Continental Army encampment, historical
interpreters may invite you to help prepare a cannon for firing or
join a military drill. A re-created 1780s farm provides a look at how
many Americans lived in the early years of the new nation. Visit
the crop field and tobacco barn; explore the house and separate
kitchen for a glimpse of domestic life; and help water the garden
or “break” flax. The Yorktown Victory Center continues to welcome
visitors as it undergoes a transformation over the next few years
into the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.
Combination ticket available year-round with Jamestown
Settlement, a museum of 17th-century Virginia. Gift shop on
museum premises. Special events and programs are offered
throughout the year.

College of William & Mary. Chartered on Feb. 8, 1693 by King
William III and Queen Mary II, the campus encompasses 1,200
acres including picturesque Lake Matoaka, Crim Dell and College
Woods. Adjacent to the Historic Area of Colonial Williamsburg, the
three buildings of the College’s colonial campus have been
restored to their 18th-century appearance.
Start your visit at the reception desk in the Sir Christopher Wren
Building, the oldest college building in the United States. This
magnificent structure was built between 1695 and 1699, before
the city of Williamsburg was founded. The staff at the “Wren” will
be able to direct you to other sites on campus. The President’s
House, located adjacent to the Wren building, was erected in 1732
and has been used by every president of the College since. The
College also offers the Muscarelle Museum of Art, host of visiting
exhibitions and home to the museum’s own collection of over
4,000 works of art.
Among the graduates of William & Mary are three U.S. presidents:
Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler. Also among
the distinguished graduates are U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice
John Marshall and 16 signers of the Declaration of Independence,
and George Washington received his surveyor’s certificate here.
William & Mary has a long history of liberal arts education and a
growing research and science curriculum that demonstrates a
strong commitment to undergraduate research. Today the school’s
enrollment tops 7,800 full-time students with a 12 to 1 student/
faculty ratio. It is recognized among the nation’s prestigious “Public
Ivies,” and is ranked first among state institutions in terms of
commitment to teaching.

During Colonial times, ale, a top fermenting
English beer, was a necessity of life. “We could
not now take time for further search or
consideration, our victuals being much spent,
especially our beer, and it being now the 19th of
September.” (Mayflower, 1620). Initially, the
colonies imported beer for family consumption, sale or barter. Colonial Tavern beer was
often brewed on premises. Over time, commercial brewing developed in the larger cities.
AleWerks is Williamsburg’s only microbrewery, brewing handcrafted ales, traditional and
contemporary, for the Commonwealth. Your visit options include a brewery tour (learn about
beer’s long history, how it is brewed and taste a variety of Alewerks beers), shop the Brewery
Store (buy beer for your lodging frig or to take home, and buy craft-beer related gifts for
friends and family) or relax and have a pint in Alewerks’ Tap Room. Cheers!

Home of John Tyler, 10th President of the United
States, 1841-1845.
This working plantation has remained the home
of generations of Tyler’s and is now occupied by
President Tyler’s grandson, Harrison Ruffin Tyler; three generations of Tyler men span
four centuries.
In 1845 President Tyler brought his bride, Julia Gardiner Tyler, of Gardiners Island, New York,
to Sherwood Forest. With her came magnificent furnishings and objects of art which remain
today. She added a 68 foot ballroom, which made Sherwood Forest the longest frame house
in America – 301 feet. Twenty-seven-acre original yard and grounds by A.J. Downing contain
many varieties of trees, America’s oldest Ginko and Poets Laurel planted by Thomas Jefferson.
One of America’s most complete plantation grounds contains original barns for horses, milk
house, wine house, servants house, law office, smoke house and overseers house. This
National Historic Landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Virginia
Historic Landmark also. Plantation is 3500 acres under preservation and wildlife management.

What separates Shirley Plantation from other
attractions? Is Shirley Plantation just another
historic house museum or attraction? You decide!
Shirley Plantation is the most authentic and intact
Colonial plantation in the country — Virginia’s first
plantation (1613), America’s oldest family-owned business and one of the first economic
engines of the New World. Through eleven generations, one family has continued to own,
operate and work this grand southern plantation. The guided tour of the Great House
highlights 375 years of family stories as well as original furnishings, portraits, silver and handcarved woodwork. Included with admission is access to leisurely explore seven original
colonial outbuildings surrounded by open fields on the banks of the expansive James River.
Today, Shirley continues to be a working plantation, a private family home, a family-owned
business, a National Historic Landmark and a direct link between the past and the present.
Founded in 2009, the membership driven Shirley Plantation Foundation manages daily
operations and maintains Shirley’s availability to the public.

Arts Month in
Williamsburg
Gardens in Williamsburg
Springtime in Williamsburg is filled with the colors
and scents of flowers blooming throughout the
entire Historic Triangle. Visitors explore the 18th
century gardens of Colonial Williamsburg’s
Historic Area, and the more contemporary gardens
found throughout the city and the campus of the
College of William & Mary.
While the Arts flourish every season in Williamsburg,
those September days immediately following Labor
Day and into early October are set aside for a period
when the Arts truly take center stage.
The visiting summer families have returned home
for the beginning of another school year. The first
hints of fall with a gentle breeze announcing the
promise of full-colored leaves soon to come stir
the hearts of artists and art lovers alike. It is a quiet
time. A time to enjoy the creative artistry of local
and visiting artisans.
Plan a visit to Williamsburg during this most beautiful season of the year.
There is also a thriving performing arts community found here, complete with theatre,
symphony and individual performances. Discover the Arts in Williamsburg!

Civil War in Williamsburg
Christmas in Williamsburg
In the early spring and summer of 1862, citizens
of Williamsburg found themselves caught in the
center of a whirlwind of warfare as U.S. troops
challenged with force the authority of Virginia and
her sister states to create a separate nation.
Nationally recognized as one of America’s
favorite Christmas destinations, there is always
something in Williamsburg to delight every
member of your family.
In a harshly fought May 5th battle, 73,000
combatants met on the very outskirts of
Williamsburg for a single day that took the lives of
nearly 1,000 men with twice that number wounded.
From that day until the end of war, Williamsburg
and its citizenry served under an occupying force.
And the line dividing two countries was drawn just
north of the College of William & Mary, located in the very heart of Williamsburg.
Plan a visit to Williamsburg and see where battle lines were drawn, defensive positions
placed, townspeople cared for the dead and wounded and where daily lives continued to
exist even in the turmoil surrounding each household.
Visit our website to learn about local points of interest, as well as tours of other nearby
battlefields including Yorktown, Cold Harbor and Malvern Hill. Minutes away in Newport
News, visit the Mariner’s Museum where the recovered turret of the USS Monitor and other
Civil War artifacts are on display.
www.CivilWarWilliamsburg.com
Throughout the Historic Area of Colonial
Williamsburg, homes and taverns are decorated
in holiday finery. Boughs, wreaths and other
decorations are creatively made from all-natural
materials. After enjoying the sights and sounds of
Christmas, attend a workshop to learn how to
make your own wreaths and ornaments.
Stroll under a canopy of more than seven million
lights at Christmas Town, Busch Gardens’ celebration of the season. Enjoy the shows,
foods, sights and sounds of Christmas throughout the park. Visit Santa’s Workshop where
you can meet St. Nick himself. Feast on culinary treats and marvel at the spectacle of
Christmas Town’s signature shows.
Continue the celebration throughout the Historic Triangle where the season comes alive at
Jamestown Settlement and the Historic Yorktown Village. And leave time for that Christmas
shopping you have yet to complete. From original art and jewelry to those last minute
stocking stuffers, the many shops and outlets of Williamsburg are sure to make Christmas
memories for everyone.
