Colonial Williamsburg consists of 301 acres encompassing 88 original buildings and hundreds of other homes, shops, and public buildings. From the Historic Area, which brings 18th-century Williamsburg to life, to the modern amenities of hotels, shops, restaurants, golf courses, and a spa, there's something for everyone in the family.

Explore the Historic Area, participate in the drama of Revolutionary City®, join founding fathers and 18th-century residents as they debate the issues at the heart of the Revolution. Visit the Capitol, the Governor's Palace, and some of the tradeshops where skilled artisans keep 18th-century methods alive.

Enjoy 18th-century style dining Colonial Williamsburg's four dining taverns -- Chowning's, Christiana Campbell's, Shields, and King's Arms Tavern.

Browse the galleries of The Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg and discover a variety of decorative and folk art. Or tour Bassett Hall, the Williamsburg home of the Rockefeller family.

Play a round of golf and relax at our full-service spa after a day of shopping in more than 20 WILLIAMSBURG brand stores. Enjoy an evening of dining, music, games, and fun. When you stay in one of our six Official Colonial Williamsburg Hotels, you're just steps from all the activity—every day of the year.
