Step back in time to the days of Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry in Colonial Williamsburg.  Stroll through the dirt streets of the political and economic hub of the Virginia Colony on the crest of revolution.  Listen to fiery speeches and debates as famous statesmen and patriots weigh the cost of war and freedom from tyranny.  Williamsburg is more than just a museum of restored buildings and artifacts, it is an immersive experience in the 18th century.  Watch craftspeople ply their trades, merchants sell their wares, and brave patriots whisper plans of a revolution.  Nearby Jamestown, Yorktown, and Virginia Beach offer more history and entertainment to complete this favorite East Coast festival.
