One of the most interesting sites in Virginia is Colonial Williamsburg. The town, founded in 1633, was capital of the colony at one time. Its great charm lies not only in the 88 restored and over 50 reconstructed 18th c. buildings but also because it is a living museum, whose "inhabitants", wearing period costume, go about their daily business as cobblers, smiths, barbers, printers, shopkeepers, innkeepers and so on. The handsomest and most historic buildings are the Capitol (1705) and the Governor's Palace (1720). Outside the historic center is the College of William and Mary (founded 1693), with the oldest academic building in the United States, the Wren Building (1695-9).
