Colonial Williamsburg is the only place that takes you back in time to the dawn of America. This isn't just a place where things once happened. They're happening, right now, here in the 18th century. We're the place where the idea of our country is being born; the place where the ideals we stand for as Americans are being defined. We are the 18th century "live," filled with the stories of the women, men, and children—free and enslaved—whose values and visions gave us a new world.
Step back in time and meet the people who made America—sing with them, dance with them, eat with them, and have fun with them. For every person who wants to understand this country, this is your place.
Find out for yourself. Take time to go back.
Whether you are visiting for a week or a day, there's lots to see and do—for time-travelers of all ages!

History Lives at Colonial Williamsburg—Come see it for yourself.
Learn MoreIn Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, you will be transported back in time to meet tradespeople, women, members of the enslaved community, shopkeepers, and political figures that call Williamsburg home. With so much to see and do, there is something for everyone—history lovers, makers, and fans of architecture. Get caught up in the historic moments taking place around you. Take a scenic carriage ride through the city for a unique perspective on transportation in the 18th century.
In addition to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown make up the Historic Triangle. The events in these three places—establishing the first permanent English settlement in Jamestown, declaring independence in Williamsburg, and winning the last major battle of the American Revolution at Yorktown—led to the birth of our nation. Looking for a thrill? Busch Gardens and Water Country USA offer rides and entertainment for the whole family.
History isn't the only thing Colonial Williamsburg has to offer. Unwind after a day of exploration and adventure at the Spa of Colonial Williamsburg, tee off on one of the championship courses at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, or get in a game of tennis. And if that wasn't enough, you can also join The Clubs and enjoy all the benefits that come with membership.
