Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area

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.

If you merely want to stroll about the streets of Colonial Williamsburg (best access on the east side, on North Henry St.) without going into any of the buildings, there is no charge. For admission to the buildings it is necessary to buy a (fairly expensive) ticket at the Visitor Center.
