Williamsburg Historical Attractions
History comes to life in Colonial Williamsburg through thousands of archaeologists, researchers, historians, historical interpreters—and even you. Become part of “The Revolutionary City” adventure and witness the collapse of the royal government and join the debate over the Declaration of Independence. The two-hour daily event highlights Williamsburg’s role in one of America’s defining periods.
Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Victory Center are two living history museums that engage visitors in nearly two centuries of our nation's history - from the founding of America's first permanent English settlement in 1607 to the decisive Revolutionary War victory in 1781 and implementation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In 2007, Jamestown Settlement celebrated its 400th anniversary with several permanent exhibits, a new introductory film and revitalized living-history areas. Together, they resented the story of 17th-century Virginia and its Powhatan Indian, English and western central African cultural origins.
