Tour the Rockefeller’s country home and see why they loved it. We learned quite a lot about the birth of Williamsburg as well from the knowledgeable guide.

Colonial National Historic Park

Reviewed By cfuller603 - Washington DC, United States

The Colonial Parkway is a 23 mile scenic roadway stretching from the York River at Yorktown to the James River at Jamestown, with a turnoff at Colonial Williamsburg. It's a lovely drive with interpretive signs along the way. Best way to do it would be to go from Jamestown to Yorktown, after driving the 3 mile interpretive circuit at Historic Jamestowne. Lovely drive with different scenery between the rivers and through the land where the colonists farmed.

Reviewed By bethanythorpe - Stafford, United States

My family loves living so close to historical places. The guided tour through this tavern was so informative. Our guide showed us some things and shared with us some historical tidbits that you would not get just walking through. It was a wonderful experience and one of my favorite parts of Colonial Williamsburg.

Historic Jamestowne

Historic Jamestowne is the original site of the first permanent English settlement in America. Ongoing archaeology at the site of James Fort has changed our understanding of the struggles and triumphs of early 1600s life in Virginia. Living history programs and an archaeology museum tell the story of this dramatic rediscovery. The site is jointly administered by the National Park Service and Preservation Virginia.

Reviewed By Seabiscuit47 - Washington DC, United States

This was a pleasant and educational surprise. It is well worth the short walk from the visitor center to the ruins, archeological dig and museum. The interpretive introduction by the volunteer, in character as John Rolfe was both fascinating and humorous. The archeology museum is a wonderful source of artifacts and reconstruction of 17th century life in the settlement. The small restaurant onsite serve nice sandwiches/wraps and has a patio on the banks of the river.
