Colonial Williamsburg Magazine

Reviewed By 448BenS - Louisville, United States

The site of the "gunpowder incident" that pretty much was the inciting of the Revolutionary War, this place had an awesome reenactor and guns, guns, guns! :) Definitely a place you should visit while in Williamsburg!

Colonial Williamsburg

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.

The Gallery at York Hall

Reviewed By LSNS2652 - Smithfield, United States

Yorktown is a great place to walk around. The Gallery has such a nice selection of local artists and craftsmen. Their selections are always interesting, always changing. The staff is friendly and very helpful without hovering. It’s worth a visit!

Jamestown Glasshouse

Reviewed By KG6MC - Greenville, United States

One of the highlights of our trip, The glasshouse opens early (8:30 AM) and it is fascinating to watch the glass makers in period costumes make reproductions of historical objects for sale in the attached Gift Shop. We found the articles quite reasonably priced for what they were.

This tour was ever so enlightening and in-depth. The tour guide was a reenactor, and she was very much knowledgeable of the things she told us about. Was a wonderful way to spend some time!

Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building

Reviewed By BethWI - Muskego, United States

Our kids are ages 7,9,12, and 13. We went to the capitol building where we were going to watch the “Resolved, an American Experiment” show at 12:30pm. Thankfully we visited Colonial Williamsburg during the non-busy season, and we got there about 20 minutes early. There was a line to wait in for this showing. They only take a certain amount of people, so I was glad we got their early. The show was very entertaining. A good number of audience members are involved in this play. Some of the kids couldn’t always follow the proceedings, but they were all able to grab bits and pieces of information. It was one of our favorite things we did in Colonial Williamsburg.
