Fall in Williamsburg, Virginia brings forth a variety of changes. The leaves on the trees burst out in brilliant hues of reds, yellows and oranges while the large crowds of tourists from the bustling summer vacation season begin to fade. And while popular seasonal attractions like Water Country USA and Busch Gardens get ready to shutter for the winter, Colonial Williamsburg remains a vibrant and intriguing place to visit.

In the 18th century, Williamsburg was the largest and most populated area of Britain’s original 13 colonies…and the place were colonial unrest for equality, freedom and independence grew into a revolution that changed the entire world.

Today Williamsburg looks much as it did in those colonial times and the colonial area is now America’s largest living history museum. It’s a place where you can be enchanted by the sights, sounds and stories of yesteryear, yet delighted by modern day conveniences and thrilled by world class theme parks and attractions.

Combining with nearby Jamestown and Yorktown to form the “Historic Triangle,” Colonial Williamsburg features more than 500 original and reconstructed public buildings, 40 exhibit buildings, private homes, quaint inns as well as quaint taverns and shops and 90 acres of public parks and gardens. Any time of year, you can stroll casually through town along the same paths once walked by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and James Madison.

Experience historic trade shops where artisans like a blacksmith, shoemaker, gunsmith, printer and cabinet-maker will show you first-hand what life was like 200 years ago. Or sit back and reflect on one of the straight-backed benches at the reconstructed Capitol, where Patrick Henry’s defiant speeches and debates helped lead to the American Revolution.
